The folks from Ya'Gotta We had a great time at the 1st weekend of this year's Banff Film festival. We can't be there for the awards next weekend, but some the films we liked (and disliked) were:
The Journals of Knud Rasmussen: Great full length docu-drama about the changes contact with white men and Christianity were having on early 20th century Inuit people.
First Ascent: Thailand: Steep towers of untouched rock jutting out of the ocean. And the best part is that with only the sea below you, there's no rope.
Cobra Crack: In this film, Canadian Sonnie Trotter free climbs the Squamish BC forty-metre Cobra Crack in June 2006, after three years of work. It is currently recognized as the hardest traditional climbs in the world.
2nd Base: Five years after the release of the resoundingly successful 1st Base, the Norwegians at Oslo BASE are back with the sequel.
Kids Who Rip: Highlights amazing youth athletes in the sports-action community. Water, wind, snow, and street sports dominate the action, which is integrated with lifestyle and interviews.
The Professional Adrenalinists; A mockumentary that looks into the world of Freestyle Walking was a hoot! New World Disorder VII: Flying High Again; was just too much (and too long) about extreme mountain biking!
