Ain’t Got No Friends on a Powder Day

Switzerland, 2007, 5 minutes
Directed and produced by Nicolas Falquet and Loris Falquet
North American Premiere

Loris is a “classic” freerider. Jean-Yves, however, has a more or less “accidental” style. This film draws a parallel between two styles and two approaches to the same mountain, which are otherwise worlds apart.

8:15 p.m.

Lost and Found

USA, 2007, 61 minutes
Directed and produced by Todd Jones, Dirk Collins, Steve Jones, and Corey Gavitt

This is the story of the extraordinary season of 2007 as seen through the eyes of world-class skiers and snowboarders. Shot entirely on 16mm and high-def, it is a testament to the terrain and conditions that exist only in the western hemisphere. Included are Jeremy Jones and Sage Cattabriga-Alosa, who revel in the record snow year in Alaska, finding the scariest spine lines ever captured on film.

9:20 p.m.

Break

9:35 p.m.

Speed Riding — Attack à Popow Land

France, 2006, 21 minutes
