USA, 2005, 15 minutes
Directed and produced by Carol Black & Neal Marlens
Focus: Environment, Satirical Humour, Culture
Anthropologist Wade Davis calls it "no less than the most spectacular archaeological and anthropological discovery of our lifetimes". Jerrold Sapphire, author of "Vanished: Why Bad Things Happen to Bad Civilizations", calls it -- well, you'll see what he calls it. When a lost backcountry skier stumbles onto a monumental complex of structures - apparently completely uninhabited - the only thing upon which experts agree is that we may never know what really happened to the lost people of Mountain Village.

Directed & produced by Matt Sheridan (Slip)

In a breakout performance, unknown skier Julian Carr explains the mindset and the tub science required to jump “ginormous” cliffs without injury. Not wanting to be perceived as a rock star driven only by adrenaline, Julian believes that it takes not guts but rather self-confidence and knowledge of the snowpack to go big. An introspective film featuring some of the biggest jaw-dropping cliffs ever recorded, including a front flip off a 165-foot (50-meter) cliff.

AWARD WINNER: BEST FILM ON MOUNTAIN SPORTS
Poland, 2005, 26 minutes

Flying is Janusz's passion and requires health, agility and stamina. Consequently, he must overcome all the limitations that come with age. He gets help from his younger friends and sometimes falters, but he never gives up. Janusz says he will always fly.
