Saturday Night Films:
MY MOM VALA Directed by: RC Cone 10 minutes
Rivers run through Vala Árnadóttirs blood; she was raised by fishing guides. She lives in the city of Reykjavík, Iceland, with her 10-year-old daughter Mathilda, and teaches Mathilda the art of casting, the tricks of fish, the peace of standing on the banks watching the water flow by. But when Vala travels to Greenland for guiding work, immersing herself in a landscape thats as beautiful and fertile as it is barren and unforgiving, Mathilda doesnt come along. Not yet. This short film paints the fantastical and mysterious country of Greenland through Mathildas fantasies and Valas eyes.
LOVED BY ALL: THE STORY OF APA SHERPA Directed by: Eric Crosland 14 minutes
I wouldnt wish this for anyone, says Apa Sherpa, who summited Everest 21 times, having started as a porter at the age of 12 following the death of his father. Eric Croslands Loved By All leaves no doubt that for many Sherpa, the hard, dangerous work of hauling gear and guiding westerners on Everest is undertaken not for glory, but to provide for their families. Apa Sherpa is now devoted to providing educational opportunities to children of the Khumbu Valley, hoping to spare them his fate. The true beauty of Nepal is not the mountains, but the people who live in their shadow, he says, calling into question the Everest industry, fueled by Sherpa labor.
HAYLEY: 90 SECONDS ON FEAR Directed by: Stian Smestad 2 minutes
I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. Thats the mantra of Hayley Ashburn as she walks a 170-foot highline between outcroppings in the wintry Dolomites.
THE WOLF PACK Directed by: Nick Waggoner, Zac Ramras 13 minutes
High in the San Juan Mountains above Silverton, Colorado, a pack of runners roams, jogging through meadows, hiking over mineral-stained peaks, ducking through forests and exploring the rugged landscape of their backyard. Its the Braford-Lefebvre family mom, dad and three kids who have used running both as a healing mechanism and a tool to help them experience life together. The Wolf Pack chronicles a family raised the right way on fresh air, high peaks and the wonder of the outdoors.
LIFE COACH Directed by: Renan Ozturk, Taylor Rees 13 minutes
Climber and filmmaker Renan Ozturk makes the pilgrimage to the toothy and harsh landscape of Alaskas Ruth Glacier every year. This time around, he and fellow climber Alex Honnold have
their sights set on a beautiful route up Mount Dickey. But the weather is horrendous. So instead, they end up sitting in tents talking about their feelings. What unfolds is not your typical climbing film, but rather a touching examination into lifes big questions.
SURF THE LINE Directed by: Jérémy Frey 3 minutes
The Flying Frenchies are back, and this time they are surfing a 2,000-foot highline in the Vercors Mountains of France hauling ass at 50 miles an hour and laughing hysterically the whole way.
BEYOND THE HORIZON Directed by: Jon Klaczkiewicz 26 minutes
This is a film about transformation & redemption. Rankin Jackson, a struggling Honduran islander gets caught up in the dark & dangerous world of drug running, yet against all odds his experience in that netherworld leads him to a new life that is bright & promising.
ESCAPE Directed by: Anjali Nayar 8 minutes
There is something gloriously incongruous and almost incomprehensible about a risk-averse, nonathletic, native Rwandan DJ finding the real meaning in his life by pedaling across Canada to its frozen Arctic Ocean shore in an attempt to break the record for the longest, continuous, fixed- gear bike ride. Through the course of this unlikely adventure, the protagonist, Jean-Aime Bigirimana, also finds that the truth about escaping is not as black and white as, say, his spandex silhouette against the cold Canadian snowscape.
Mountainfilm on Tour Southampton has been made possible thanks to the support of Elyn & Jeff Kronemeyer and Brown Harris Stevens of the Hamptons.
Mountainfilm on Tour Southampton is part of the Mountainfilm Festival's World Tour.
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.
