Backcountry Film Festival in San Luis Obispo California
The festival was created in 2004 to highlight Winter Wildlands Alliance's efforts to preserve and promote winter landscapes for human-powered users. The festival has grown to include showings in locations throughout the United States, Canada, Antarctica, Europe, Australia and Asia and now for the first time in San Luis Obispo! Funds raised stay in our local community to support like-minded, human-powered recreation and conservation efforts!
This year's program includes: Winner, Best of Festival, Out on a Limb from T-bar Films tells the story of Vasu, who's love for skiing and the backcountry overcomes all obstacles. Best of the Backcountry Award winner, Powder Pilgrimage from Joey Howell, chronicles the ventures of two friends ski-bumming it to Valdez, Alaska, a trip we should all take once. Best Grassroots Film winner, Backcountry Baker by Jeremy Lurgio follows Labrador retriever Baker and his owner as they pursue their love of mountains through backcountry skiing. From the Road by Fischer Creative portrays the balance between liberation and limitation as a group of athletes come together to help a skiing comrade gain reconciliation with the Alaska peak where a 2009 accident ended his professional guiding career. Afterglow from Sweetgrass Productions is a revolutionary and visually spectacular film that brings a whole new light to skiing in the dark. 95 to Infinity by Doglotion Media follows brothers Andy and Mike Traslin as they keep the torch lit for 95 months of winter turns. IRS Traverse by filmmaker Luc Mehl is fun and quirky adventure through the Alaska Wilderness Sundog from SturgeFilms and DPS Cinematic capture the dog days of skiing in Patagonia. Higher continues the journey of athlete Jeremy Jones as he reaches new heights. From Teton Gravity Research.
