THE PIÑATA KING Directed by: Paul Storrie, Chris Lee, Charlie Kwai 4 minutes
In Mexico, no childs birthday party is complete without a piñata. Piñatas made by the Piñata King, along with his family, friends and most of his fellow townspeople, are unique pieces of crafted artisanship. For some kids, the beauty of the piñata is worth more than the sweet goodies hidden inside. For others, its still all about the goodies.
CLIMBING OUT OF A DISASTER Directed by: Dominic Gill 9 minutes
Bryant Huffman spent his days deep water soloing, sport climbing and bouldering as founder of Climbing Puerto Rico. Then Hurricane Maria dropped a nuclear bomb of water and wind, which destroyed much of the island. With his work as a guide temporarily suspended, Huffman and his climbing buddies put their skills to good use by morphing into emergency arborists. And out of the devastation comes a glimmer of something positive. The hurricane peeled huge chunks of limestone from cliffs, creating scores of new routes. Climbing Out of a Disaster is about shifting your perspective to see the silver lining in calamity.
LOS LECHEROS Directed by: Jim Cricchi 21 minutes
In 17 years of working at a dairy farm, manager Guillermo Ramos Bravo says he has never seen a person born in the U.S. ask his boss for a job. Third-generation farmer John Rosenow recalls a
time when farms were typically worked entirely by family; now, its about the last thing that you would do; its something thats relegated to the immigrants. Los Lecheros explains that farms with immigrant employees produce 70 percent of the U.S. milk supply.
SER Directed by: Pep Cuberes 11 minutes
Where does a professional competitive ski mountaineer go to escape the pressures and demands of her career? Ski mountaineering, of course. To mountains far, far away from judges and the media and autograph-seekers, where she can dream in a playground of infinite games.
FREE LIKE THE BIRDS Directed by: Paola Mendoza 10 minutes
Precocious Sophie Cruz convinced her martial arts teacher to let her attend classes when she was just 3 years old. She is a luchadora, a fighter. So when her parents, who are undocumented immigrants, told her they dont have papers and could be deported back to Mexico, Sophie vowed to keep her family together. On a trip to Washington, D.C., Sophie, then just 6, cleared a security barrier to deliver her message to Pope Francis. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court will consider Deferred Action for Parents of Americans, which would grant protected status to Sophies family and thousands of others and let them live free like the birds.
MANUEL Directed by: Gabriela Cavanagh 8 minutes
In a small shack by the train tracks on the outskirts of Old Havana, 87-year-old Manuel Quintana Godinez sells an exotic handmade concoction called Pru Oriental for a living. He advertises the drink as a kind of elixir, good for the kidneys, cystitis, migraines, gastritis, bronchitis, circulation and depression. It is, according to Manuels hand-painted ad board, A good drink for whatever age and interesting for those over 50. To drive the implied point home, the board also says, If you have a stallion its restorative! Like Manuels tonic, this short profile piece is sweet and uplifting (and not just for those over 50).
YOJANI: A CUBA SKATE STORY Directed by: Corey McLean 2 minutes
Skateboarding is an anomaly in Havana, Cuba and you have to be creative to find good places to skate. But one skateboarder is using his sport to bring young people together. Yojani is a snapshot of a skater who is creating a family out of the nascent Cuban skating community.

MOUNTAINFILM ON TOUR
Mountainfilm travels year-round and worldwide with a selection of current and best-loved films from the annual festival in Telluride. We present both single-event and multi-day shows, hosted by a wide array of organizations, including schools and colleges, corporations, community groups and theater operators. We are regularly called on by nonprofit organizations to be part of fundraising events. Each year, we select the best short films from our annual festival and make them available to our hosts to select for their shows. Our fee-based structure gives local organizers the ability to set ticket prices, sell local sponsorship packages and conduct raffles to achieve financial and fundraising goals. Each show is emceed by a Mountainfilm presenter who guides the audience through the program, often sharing personal stories from his or her interactions with the filmmaker or the film's subjects.
