Sinners
(Canada, 2003, 23’)
Director/Producer: Bill Heath*
Coupling the wisdom of 100-year-old physicist A.J. Snow with
three years of filmmaking in deep, deep British Columbia snow,
Nelson filmmaker Bill Heath created a simple work that speaks to
his own love of powder. The music, the joy and the beautifully
patient photography make us aware of the exquisiteness of the
gasping-for-air moments that only come from the deep and the
light.
8:31 pm
Red Alert
(Switzerland, 2004, 9’) WORLD PREMIERE
Director/Producer: Dominique Perret
Recent atypical climatic conditions forced acclaimed freeride
skier Dominique Perret to forgo skiing certain massifs in
2004. In his 16th film, shot in the Swiss Alps and featuring his
trademark extreme-skiing style, Dominique pushes the “red alert”
button, alarmed at the threat posed by climate change and
humankind’s ongoing follies.

Crazy Canucks
(Canada, 2004, 92’)
Director: Randy Bradshaw
Producers: Randy Bradshaw, Doug MacLeod*
In person: Dave Irwin*
This film is inspired by the true story of the Canadian Men’s
Alpine Team as they are faced with the challenge of cracking the
Euro-dominated World Cup Downhill Circuit over the 1974-76
seasons. These five teammates triumph in the face of adversity,
and achieve some of the most groundbreaking victories in
Canadian ski history.
