The Ultimate Skiing Showdown - 4
minutes The final sprint
showdown between the fastest skiers on Earth
in juxtaposition with a stunt performer
showing some of the sickest moves on Nordic
skis. A lot of fun!
Finding Farley
- 63 minutes When filmmakers
Karsten Heuer and Leanne Allison, along with
their two-year-old son Zev and indomitable
dog Willow, set out to retrace the literary
footsteps of Farley Mowat, they meant it
literally. Their 5000-kilometre trip -
trekking, sailing, portaging and paddling
from the Prairies to the Maritimes - is
captured in this film. The family's arrival
at their final destination (Mowat's Nova
Scotian summer home) is, as Karsten says,
"an affirmation of what the land and animals
had already told us." "Stories aren't so
much written or created as they are
released, expressing what's been there all
along."
Mont Blanc Speed Flying
- 10 minutes Six speed riders
fly from the upper slopes of Mont Blanc down
to Chamonix in one continuous 10-minute
shot, filmed in Cineflex.
Hunlen - 12 minutes What happens if you show
up to climb one of the biggest frozen waterfalls in
Canada -- but it isn't completely frozen? Will Gadd
and EJ Plimley battle to do the first ascent of
B.C.'s remote Hunlen Falls. Falling ice, crashing
water, fear, big fun!
Pick-up Sticks - 9 minutes Take an aerial
plunge off the edge of an Arctic coastal
headland into the abyss of a seabird colony
to find out how marine environmental change
is affecting the delicate balance of life
for a hardy creature of the northern seas. A
visual and metaphorical cliffhanger for our
times!
First Ascent: Alone
on the Wall – 24 minutes After gaining
international climbing renown for his landmark
free-solo of "Moonlight Buttress" (V, 5.12+, 9
pitches) in Zion National Park, Utah, in April 2008,
24-year-old Alex Honnold moves on to his next big
challenge: the first free-solo of the "Regular
Northwest Face" route (VI, 5.12a, 23 pitches) on
Yosemite’s Half Dome.
