Dream Day
Malcolm Sangster, Eric Crosland | 10 min.
What would it feel like to begin your day in fresh powder and end it in the briny Pacific on the perfect sunset wave? It would probably feel like a dream. Four athletes, Jeremy Jones, Hilaree O’Neil, Matt Hunter and Greg Long, set out to see if they could make that dream a reality – starting out in the Sierra backcountry then rock climbing, cruising down Mt. Tam on mountain bikes, and capping it off with a surf at Stinson Beach. Amazing adventures are possible when you get outside and dream big.
Iran: A Skier’s Journey
Jordan Manley, Narrows Media | 13 min.
Cautioned not to travel to Iran, Chad Sayers and Forrest Coots decide to go, regardless. They immediately find comfort in Tehran’s bustling bazaars, Isfahan’s dazzling mosques, and the powder filled slopes of the Alborz and Zagros mountain ranges, topping 3,000m. It is a culture not easily understood, but profoundly welcoming. As journalist Elaine Sciolino writes, Iran can be dazzling, and light-filled, a reflection of its complexities; but it can also be cold, confusing, and impenetrable. Yet they are reminded, as Pico Iyer writes, to learn more about the world than our newspapers will accommodate.
Devotion: Libby Peter
Matt Pycroft, Emma Crome | 5 min.
Libby Peter is one of the UK’s most respected rock climbers, with years of experience in expeditions, instructing, coaching and guiding around the world. Throughout her astounding career, Libby has been consistently committed to fulfilling her personal and professional objectives while raising her daughters Ruby and Zoe in the climbing hub of North Wales, UK. Libby reflects on how - quite unintentionally - climbing has shaped her life.
Ace and the Desert Dog
Brendan Leonard, Forest Woodward, Stefan Hunt, Joe Peters, Max Lowe | 9 min.
For his 60th birthday, adventure photographer Ace Kvale and his dog, Genghis Khan, set out for a 60-day backpacking trip in Utah’s canyon country. The pair tells the story of their trek, friendship, and Genghis records it on his Desert Dawg Adventure Blawg.
Think Like a Scientist: Boundaries
Neil Losin, Nathan Dappen | 7 min.
Humans construct boundaries -- around our homes, our neighborhoods, and our nations -- to bring order to a chaotic world. But we rarely consider how these boundaries affect other creatures. Meet conservation photographer Krista Schlyer, who has spent the last seven years documenting the environmental effects of the U.S./Mexico border wall, and biologist Jon Beckmann, who studies how man-made barriers influence the movement of wildlife.
Running Wild
Danny Schmidt | 7 min.
In February of 2014, a remotely triggered camera in Utah’s rugged Uinta mountains captured a picture of something no one thought possible in the area: a wolverine. This elusive creature hadn’t been spotted here for nearly 40 years. This one photograph set in motion a massive undertaking to find out if these badasses of the animal kingdom were setting up shop here for good. Ultrarunners took to the mountains setting up and checking camera traps around the ecosystem in search of more photographic evidence. The result? A comprehensive survey of wildlife in the range and a model for citizen science projects everywhere.
Elk River
Jenny Nichols, Joe Riis, Arthur Middleton | 28 min.
Scientist Arthur Middleton, photographer Joe Riis, artist James Prosek and filmmaker Jenny Nichols join forces in this documentary that captures the migration of elk in the Yellowstone area through a multidisciplinary lens. For many of the elk herds that summer in Yellowstone, home is outside the protected park boundaries the rest of the year, as far as 70 miles away. Mirroring a similar expedition undertaken in 1871 that fused science and the arts, this modern band of explorers join their ungulate counterparts on a trek from Wyoming’s rangeland through snowy mountain passes and treacherous river crossings to the rugged beauty of Yellowstone’s high-alpine meadows. They meet backcountry guides and cattle ranchers whose lives are intricately tied with the fate of the elk and other migratory species that call the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem home.
INTERMISSION 75 Min.
SESSION ll 7:15 pm to 9:15 pm
PARC | American River Canyons Update | 20 min.
Pangolin
Katie Schuler, Nick Rogacki | 13 min.
This is an intimate glimpse into the journey of a single pangolin; from the moment it is taken from the wild to its final destination in China. Filmed on location across three countries with the help of reformed poachers and wildlife enforcement officers, the film acts as a surrogate for an estimated hundred thousand pangolins that are poached and smuggled annually throughout Southeast Asia and Africa. Filmed with minimal commentary, Pangolin offers audiences the opportunity to experience the life, death and afterlife of the most illegally trafficked mammal on the planet.
Forget Shorter Showers
Jordan Brown, Derrick Jensen | 11 min.
Would any sane person think dumpster diving would have stopped Hitler, or that composting would have ended slavery or brought about the eight-hour workday; or that chopping wood and carrying water would have gotten people out of Tsarist prisons; or that dancing around a fire would have helped put in place the Voting Rights Act of 1957 or the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Then why now, with all the world at stake, do so many people retreat into these entirely personal “solutions”?
Growing Change
Chris Jordan-Bloch | 4 min.
Jim Cochran arrived at work before dawn. He walked out into the strawberry fields. As the sun rose and light hit the field, he began to smell chemicals. His eyes watered. His head spun. He started to shake. He had just walked into a field that had been sprayed with pesticides. From this experience, Jim Cochran helped invent the organic strawberry industry. After pioneering and profiting from a healthier crop, he turned his attention to the health of his workers.
Fair Trade: The First Step
Alex Lowther, Michael Malagon, Campbell Brewer | 13 min.
How is your clothing made? Patagonia’s new short film investigates why choosing Fair Trade Certified clothing is an important first step toward changing the garment industry.
Haute Trash Fashion Show
Kathi Griffis | 10 min.
The idea for trash fashions was said to have come to founder Susan Lamela while she was repairing a designer suit. Discouraged with the shoddy workmanship of the expensive garment, she claimed “I could do better than this with trash"!
Plastico
James Q Martin | 9 min.
Beach communities around the world suffer from an abundance of plastic that tragically ends up in the oceans at an alarming rate – over 8 million metric tons per year. Join the founders of the Azulita Project, as they share information on how a small community is making a difference.
Native Waters - Rio Grande
Amy Marquis, Dana Romanoff, Sinjin Eberle | 8 min.
The Wild & Scenic Rio Grande River is the lifeblood of New Mexico. But for Tesuque Pueblo member Louie Hena and his family, the river is more than an office, more than a provider, it is home. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, happening in 2018, Louie urges us all to protect more wild rivers.
The Wild President
Will Stauffer-Norris, Sinjin Eberle, Jacob Boling | 6 min.
President Jimmy Carter, an unsung environmental hero, grew up in awe of nature’s wonder. But it wasn’t until he first paddled the Chattooga River’s Bull Sluice did he understand the power of a wild river. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, happening in 2018, President Carter urges all Americans to protect more wild rivers.
Douglas Tompkins: Wild Legacy
James Q Martin, Chris Cresci | 16 min.
Douglas Tompkins was a world-renowned adventurer, entrepreneur, and conservationist. The founder of The North Face and co-founder of Esprit, Doug spent the first half of his life building successful global brands, while simultaneously adventuring around the world, completing first descents of the world’s toughest rivers. In the early 1990s, Doug sold his part of Esprit and turned his entrepreneurial energies to land and wildlife conservation projects in South America. Over the last 25 years, Tompkins’ efforts have helped secure 4.75 million acres in new protected areas in Chile and Argentina including five new national parks.
INTERMISSION 15 Min.
SESSION lll 9:30 pm to 10:15 pm
Keep Squaw True
| 3 min.
A Colorado investment firm wants to transform Squaw Valley with development unlike anything North Lake Tahoe has ever seen. Acres of high-rise condo hotels and an indoor water park threaten the environment, quality of life, and mountain values of the entire region.
Q&A Guest Speaker Issac Silverman
Voice of the Bear River
John Marlow | 20 min.
Witness the stunning beauty of the Bear and Yuba watershed. These rivers are at the mercy of Centennial Reservoir. 72 billion gallons have been requested to be removed from the Bear River, affecting farmers, fishermen, wildlife, and many more. Centennial Dam would flood more than 6 miles of this beautiful valley, flooding Native American burial grounds, loved recreation places, tourist attractions, and the homes of our fellow citizens. Centennial Dam would cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but what about the other costs? This film takes an intensive look into Centennial Dam, and what it could mean for us.
Q&A Guest Speaker Otis Wollan
Festival Ends Thank you and we’ll see you next year!
