Highlighted films:
A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE, Surfingﾠ
Opening Night Film
This is not a surf movie, it is a film about surfing's deepest roots: in the subconscious; in ancient lore; in the craft of surfboard building; in man's perpetual quest for a joyful relationship with the natural world.ﾠ In famed surf photographer Jack McCoy's latest film, today's leading surfers are linked to those who came before, for a deeper appreciation of what it means to be a surfer and the soulful underlying power of modern surf culture.

40 DAYS AT BASE CAMP, Mountaineering
Dianne Whelan captures a fascinating, intimate portrayal of life at the base of Mt. Everest.

SOLITAIRE, Ski/Snowboarding
Closing Night Film
With beautiful cinematography,ﾠSOLITAIRE fuses western-inspired tales of backcountry gambles into landscapes never before visited on film.
