Synopses:
Limitless
Directed by Hayden Griffith
New Zealander Jezza Williams, an international expedition guide, made a mistake, he allows.
Diving into a pool at the bottom of an alpine canyon a place he had swam many times before
he mistimed his move and hit his head on a rock. Now tetraplegic, Williams has reinvented
himself still an adventurer, albeit dependent on others. To be rock bottom, spiritually,
mentally, physically, you have a lot of time to reflect on what your life is about, Williams says. It
humbles you massively. But not for long. Williams founded the nonprofit Makingtrax, which
initiates and facilitates the inclusion of persons with disabilities in adventure sports. (Australia,
2019, 10 min.)
ADAPTATION: Kentucky
Directed by Alizé Carrére
If we cant beat em, eat em! is the slogan of Two Rivers Fisheries in Wickliffe, Kentucky.
Chinese-American entrepreneur Angie Yu exports wild-caught Asian carp, an invasive species
in the Mississippi River ecosystem, to 11 nations where carp is much-appreciated. She is also
working to instill a love for carp among Americans, despite its stigma as a trash fish. Scientist
and filmmaker Alizé Carrère celebrates the transformation of an aquatic invader into an
economic and culinary treasure, seeing it as a creative adaptation in an ever-changing world.
(USA, 2019, 12 min.)
Bear Whisperer
Directed by Robert Gourley
Originally hired by the police department to exterminate bears that had overpopulated Mammoth
Lakes, California, Steve Searles instead decided to teach the bears to co-exist with the towns
residents. Nobody has ever been killed by a black bear, he explains. I know each bear
individually in Mammoth from the time theyre born until the time they die. (USA, 2020, 5 min.)
Raw Run: The Cliffs of France
Directed by Josh Neuman
Theres no need to edit a shot when it keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time.
Following Josh Neuman longboarding down a narrow highway in France, we get a perspective
of speed one is happy to be in the backseat for. (USA, 2018, 3 min.)
Lhotse
Directed by Dutch Simpson, Nick Kalisz
The fourth-highest mountain in the world, Lhotse has long captured the imagination of climbers.
In 2018, professional ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison attempted the first ski
descent of the iconic Lhotse Couloir. The pair face all the challenges of Himalayan climbing at
8,000 meters avalanches, the Khumbu Icefall, and sometimes near-zero visibility. But Nelson
and Morrison embrace this risk-taking as a way to live in the moment and push self-imposed
boundaries in pursuit of their passion. (USA, 2019, 23 mins.)
Aziza
Directed by Ryan Goff, Matt Pycroft
Being a female runner in Morocco is not easy, but Aziza Raji tears through barriers, establishing
herself as a decorated, long-distance runner. She finds time to train in the Atlas Mountains while
maintaining the daily tasks expected of her at home. Her talent and discipline make her a rising
star in Morocco and a role model to up-and-coming athletes. (UK, 2018, 7 min.)
Singlehanded
Directed by Stash Wislocki
A solo-circumnavigation is a daunting challenge for just about any sailor, let alone a sailor who
happens to be a double amputee. Singlehanded takes us through the waters of Antarctica and
the infamous Drake Passage (considered one of the most treacherous sailing destinations in the
word) with Dustin Reynolds, the survivor of a life-altering accident who has sailed more than
20,000 miles alone over the past five years.
(USA, 2020, 8 min.)
Welcome Strangers
Directed by Dia Sokol Savage
Love our neighbors the way we love ourselves is the mantra of Sarah Jackson, founder of
Casa de Paz, a volunteer-run shelter for immigrants who have just been released from
detention. Since 2012, Jackson has created a nurturing home for new arrivals to the U.S., many
of whom are seeking asylum from dangerous situations. As our nations immigration policies
continue to tear families apart, Jacksons Casa de Paz provides a dose of TLC and
encouragement to weary detainees. (USA, 2020, 20 min.)
Charge
Directed by Anthony Bonello, Mike Gamble
In this film, we find out what happens when a bevy of rockstar skiers get together with a world
champion drone pilot in the snowy wilds of the Canadian Rockies.
(Canada, 2019, 5 min.)
