S and I ventured back to the touring BANFF Film Festival when it came to StL this year, but unfortunately one of the two nights was sold out by the time we got our tickets! Nevertheless, we managed to see some great stuff on Day 2. Here's what we saw:
Rogue Elements: Corbet's Couloir (full film): a daring descent of icy ski slopes - on a mountain bike. Props for the good music.
RJ Ripper (full film): the story of a poor but dedicated mountain biker living in chaotic Kathmandu.
Grizzly Country (full film): one man's quest to protect American grizzly bears.
This Mountain Life (trailer): a Canadian mother-daughter team spend six months traversing mountains in British Columbia.
The Mirnavator (full film): an unconventional untrarunner doesn't let the doubters stop her in her quest.
Surface (full film): a dedicated photographer looks for just the right angle.
Fast Horse (full film): one team tries their luck in the original Native American extreme sport.
Viacruxes (trailer): a stop-motion animation piece about two friends and the travails of climbing.
The Frenchy (full film): an 82-year-old skier and mountain biker just doesn't give up. This one was both of our favorite, for the quotable comedic value, to say nothing of the inspiration.
