Banff Mountain Film Festival - November 4, 2012

Last batch of films from the Banff Mountain Film Festival.


Last Light

Was this another time lapse photography movie? I can't recall.

WILD SCANDINAVIA - Sweden

A documentary about a variety of wildlife in Sweden. Not that compelling.

Moonwalk

Slacklining. Woo.

The Way Home

Interesting movie about the lack of visible minorities in the U.S. national parks. Do Canadian national parks have the same issue? I don't think so, but don't have the numbers to say either way.

Autana

You could call this a climbing movie, but it's more a movie about adventure and exploration. Some people go to great lengths to tick off first ascents.

Nuit Blanche - A Sleepless Night

It wasn't clear if this was a re-enactment or entirely fiction, but it was moving nonetheless.

Living Wild

My choice for the Peoples' Choice award. A small group of young people attempt to live off the land, using only things that they themselves have made. The last scene felt gratuitous, but the rest of the film was very interesting.

Spearhead Soul Skiing

Short film about ski touring. Gets me in the mood for some skinning.

REEL Rock 7: Honnold 3.0

Alex Honnold solos the 3 biggest faces in Yosemite in 24 hours. My favourite climbing movie of the festival.

Terra Sacra Time Lapses

Time lapse photography was popular this year. They're nice, but more than one seems like too many.

NATURE: River of No Return

Living in the Idaho wilderness for ... a year? I can't recall. I enjoyed this.

Unicorn Sashimi

Skiing in shoulder-deep powder in Hokkaido.

The Gimp Monkeys

Akemi's favourite movie, about 3 disabled climbers doing the first all-disabled ascent of El Cap.
