FILM PROGRAMME


ALL I CAN: THE SHORT CUT

Banff Award: Best Feature-Length Mountain Film
A special Tour edit of the award-winning ski film that combines thought provoking issues with mind-blowing snow sports action.  Stunning time-lapse sequences, deep powder and an incredible urban downhill skiing scene are just some of the highlights.
Directed by Dave Mossop and Eric Crosland, Canada, 11 minutes 
COLD

Banff Awards: Grand Prize and Best Film: Climbing
Up until now 16 expeditions have tried and failed to climb one of Pakistan's 8,000 metre peaks in the heart of winter.  Experience the chilling first-hand footage as 3 climbers set out to be the first and the harrowing descent  that amplifies their isolation and exposure to the extreme cold - and then an avalanche hits.
Directed by Anson Fogel, 19 minutes



KADOMA

Banff Award: Best Exploration and Adventure Film
"Kadoma" is the nickname for Hendri Coetzee, a lengendary South African kayaker who is known for exploring some of Africa's wildest rivers.  In December 2010, pro kayakers Chris Korbulic and Ben Stookesbury followed Coetzee into the Democratic Republic of Congo for a first descent of the dangerous Lukuga River.  Seven weeks in to the expedition, tragedy struck.  
Directed by Ben Stookesbury, 42 minutes


REEL ROCK: ORIGINS - OBE & ASHIMA

There's a 9 year old girl taking the bouldering world by storm and her name is Ashima.  Guided by her coach and former bouldering star Obe, this tiny master is crusing competitions and raising the bar for climbing's youth.  A trip to a bouldering mecca in Texas provides a glimpse of the past for Obe and the start of amazing new adventures for Ashima. 
Directed by Josh Lowell, 23 minutes



REEL ROCK: SKETCHY ANDY

Climbing dirtbag Andy Lewis is taking the discipline of slacklining in to the future as he solos the world's longest high-lines and masters the hardest aerial tricks, while pushing his equipment to the limit.  As Andy goes higher, harder and faster with climbing, slack and B.A.S.E one wonders just how far he can go before it'll be one step over the line.  
Directed by Peter Mortimer, 22 minutes  


FROM THE INSIDE OUT (Shorter Banff Edit) 

Some of the world's best freeriders hit the slopes and trails of western Canada to produce this high-action flick that merges trail, downhill, jump and slopestyle riding.    
Directed by The Coastal Crew, 13 minutes
           



THE FREEDOM CHAIR

Banff Award: Best Film - Mountain Sports
Josh Dueck was an aspiring skier and coach until a ski accident in 2004 changed his life.  Despite his comeback and succces in the world of competitive sit-skiing, he wasn't content.  Josh's dream is to tackle the backcountry and the steepest and wildest mountains in the world -  with his infectious outlook he may catch his dream.
Directed by Mike Douglas, 15 minutes
