A VERY SHORT GUIDE TO UNION GLACIER CAMP 2020 UK / Duration: 5 mins, Directed by: Temujin Doran If you’re considering an expedition to Antarctica, here is a jaunty preview of your likely base camp. Looks like fun! Not to mention beautiful and energetically staffed. ALL JOKES ASIDE 2021 USA / Duration: 6 mins, Directed by: RC Cone Eeland Stribling is a wildlife biologist, stand-up comedian and fly fisherman. All his interests and talents merge in the great outdoors where he comes up with some apropos stand-up comedy. Part stand-up routine and part documentary, this film is punctuated by the synchronicity of protecting Bristol Bay and recognizing Black Lives Matter. Joining Stribling on the riverbanks and in the water feels like a special chance to hang out with an entertaining fishing buddy. 24 LEECHES 2020 USA / Duration: 10 mins, Directed by: Aaron Peterson 24 Leeches is a heart-warming and relatable story that not only describes the struggles and intensity of camping, but the joys and lifelong experiences and memories that come with it. This film spreads hope and is inspiring to people of all ages. INVISIBLE BEAUTY 2021 Germany / Duration: 6 mins, Directed by: Milo Zanecchia, Sarah Ziegler A girl who adores nature explores the beauty of small insects in every way imaginable. CHARGE 2 2020 Canada / Duration: 4 mins, Directed by: Anthony Bonello In British Columbia’s Monashee Mountains the powder is consistent and sought after. Five freeskiers — Stan Rey, Leah Evans, Alexi Godbout, Josh Daiek, Drew Petersen and Jordan Temkin — head to book cat skiing with only one operative: charge as hard as you can every day. The result is the pure joy and exaltation found in powder. AROUND THE BLOCK 2020 UK / Duration: 3 mins, Directed by: Jonnie Lewis Sometimes the world around us is the best blank canvas. Join artist David Zinn's chalk-based characters as they jump out from their urban environment, putting fun and color into everyday life. WILD CHILD 2019 Ireland / Duration: 4 mins, Directed by: George Karbus It's cool to see how kids who live by the ocean have fun swimming with ocean creatures and surfing. BLACKBERRY SWIRL 2020 USA / Duration: 4 mins, Directed by: Henry Miles Mountain bike pros Corinne Prevot and Ella McAndrew enjoy summertime in Vermont as they zig-zag down flowy trails and leaf peep through the incredible forests of their home state. LOCK DOWN ROCK UP 2020 UK / Duration: 10 mins, Directed by: Nico Hambleton Jerome Mowat is a paramedic during a global pandemic and has not seen his family in over five months. In the gruesome mundanity of working in an emergency vehicle, Mowat finds solace in the fundamental and elemental characteristics of rock climbing. When his mind can become so occupied by something as irrelevant as a piece of rock, that is when he is able to completely remove himself, not only physically, but mentally, from the heartbreak of his work. In the juxtaposition of climbing and being a paramedic, we are able to catch a glimpse of coping at its finest. MTB BRIDGE STUNT RIDE 2021 USA / Duration: 1 mins, Directed by: Antoni Villoni Professional mountain biker Antoni Villoni elevates the bike lane to new, dizzying heights in this daring clip. MADE IN THE MITTEN 2020 USA / Duration: 7 mins, Directed by: Zeppelin Zeerip While it’s most often thought of as a mountain sport, modern-day snowboarding began on the shores of Lake Michigan. Housebound in a snowstorm, and in need of an activity to get his kids outside, Sherman Poppn fastened two of his daughter’s skis together and stood sideways on the hill in his backyard. And with that, the snurfer was born, creating a magical way to surf the snow. The snowboard industry has come a long way since then, but Made in the Mitten is an homage to the sport’s original roots: the pure joy of riding a skinny piece of wood in the snowy backyards of the Midwest. YOU AND THE THING THAT YOU LOVE 2020 USA / Duration: 12 mins, Directed by: Nicholas Maher Nick Mullins was a teenage skate punk on the brink of turning pro when a benign-seeming accident led to catastrophic illness. He survived, but went blind in the process. And just like that, he lost everything. This is the incredible story of how he fought like hell to get it back. THE MYSTERY 2020 USA / Duration: 11 mins, Directed by: Tommy Penick, Forest Woodward In the ‘90s, there existed this very nerdy, goofy and cool subset of kayaking called "squirt boating." At the time, thousands called it their hobby, but now, there are less than 200. In squirt boating, boats are custom-sized, like getting fit for a tuxedo and “the mystery move” was the claim to fame. These days, the hobby itself has pulled a mystery move — disappearing from the kayaking sect, leaving everyone wondering, what happened to those sparkly squirt boats of yore? ONE STAR REVIEWS: NATIONAL PARKS 2020 USA / Duration: 2 mins, Directed by: Alex Massey Classic American stereotypes come to life in one star reviews. For real. In a world where everyone’s a critic, the magic of our national parks is downplayed by couch potato tourists turned outdoor aficionados. Brief, beautiful and truly comical, award-winning director Alex Massey brings to light cringeworthy Yelp reactions to some of the most stunning natural wonders in America. |
