SCHEDULE OF FILMS
ADAPTIVE ADVENTURE - Meg White - 14 Min.
While navigating her way through an arduous journey with lupus, Kate Appleby continually engages and wholeheartedly immerses herself in outdoor adventures. Spreading awareness of hidden illnesses, Kate has become a powerfully inspiring woman among those in the outdoor community. This documentary examines the psychological and physical benefits yielded through thoughtful and respectful engagement with one's environment and explores the human connection to nature.
WILD AND STILL - Hugo Clouzeau - 14 Min.
Whitewater kayaking short film.
THE STORM CHASER - Jack Pirie - 7 Min.
The Storm Chaser is a labor-of-love short film project from writer/director Jack Pirie. The film follows storm-chasing legend Thomas Traversa as he embarks on a perilous journey in search of a mythical storm, the likes of which the world has never witnessed. A genre-blurring documentary about the profound encounters between humans and nature at its extremes, and the harmony that can be found within.
WE BELONG TO THE LAND - Jacob Collings - 13 Min.
This short documentary, set on the slopes on Kunanyi (the mountain overlooking the city of Hobart), delves into individual recollections of returning to the landscape & how this has shaped us. These candid stories paired with an original soundtrack invite viewers to get back into nature and think deeply about our future.
URBAN OASIS - Ryan Scura - 4 Min.
A journey through the contrasting urban and natural spaces within San Francisco's 49 square miles.
FINDING HETCH HETCHY - James Q Martin - 10 Min.
Timmy O'Neill had spent three decades scaling the monoliths in Yosemite Valley but, like so many climbers in the park, had never visited the nearby Hetch Hetchy Valley, which stays well out of the limelight due to San Francisco's controversial dam and reservoir that covers the valley floor. ‘Finding Hetch Hetchy’ shows the excellent opportunities for climbers while explaining the opportunity to relocate its namesake reservoir and restore the valley below to its natural beauty.
LEO & CHESTER - Andrea Wing - 9 Min.
Leo, a sought-after rock star with a promising career, turns his back on the industry to pursue a life on the land with a herd of buffalo.
ISLAND LOBSTERMAN - Andrew Lyman-Clark - 25 Min.
‘Island Lobsterman’ is the story of Malcolm Fernald, who, with his father Dan, lobsters the waters in the Acadia region of Maine, which has been home to generations of Fernald lobster fishermen. In recent years they have enjoyed record catches as climate change has driven lobsters northwards up the East Coast, but they've started to see a decline from the same force as waters become too warm. This film is about the unique lifestyle they lead and the challenges they face.
NO OTHER LAKE - Duane Peterson - 39 Min.
Motivated by a desire to better understand his home watershed, Jordan Rowell embarks on a two week kayaking trip along the 120-mile length of Lake Champlain, stopping to talk to a wide range of characters about the future of their shared basin. Set 50 years after the passage of the Clean Water Act, No Other Lake is both a celebration of the unique beauty of Lake Champlain and a confrontation with its greatest challenges
