    Creation Theory

    Synopsis

    What is the source of creation? Whether it’s the grandest cosmos or the smallest human idea, true creation arrives in moments of unexpected convergence— extraordinary synchronicities between space and time, science and art, music and mountains and sea. In Creation Theory, these raw elements converge in the Westfjords of Iceland, taking us on a journey from the interstellar birth of gravity and rhythm, to their ultimate human creative expression: surfer on wave, snowboarder on peak, and musician on stage.

    Synopsis

    The emotional documentary “CLARITY” takes us through the life of Sebastian Kuhn and provides intimate insights into the depths of his feelings. Sebastian was confronted with ADHD as an adult. A neurobiological disorder whose diagnosis brought relief and change. Nature becomes Sebastian’s refuge, a source of healing and balance. The film captures how he adapts his life by focusing on the simple beauty of nature to minimise sensory overload and find clarity, how he experiences the transformative effect of ice bathing where the cold manages to calm his mind and how he rediscovers his deep connection to snowboarding and freedom on the snowy hills in the midst of nature.

    Synopsis

    In today’s era of outdoor adventure sports, where social media followers, engagement and ‘likes’ have shaped the industry, an important question remains unanswered: If a snowboarder rides a steep, exposed line in the Whistler backcountry and no one sees it or hears it, did it really happen? Joe Lax would put this age-old philosophical debate to rest— “Who cares”?

    DARKHORSE is an observational documentary following Joe Lax, a 44 year old Pemberton local, who’s created a life defined by snowboarding, family and wildfire. Despite his accolades amongst the mountains over the last two decades, he remains one of the most accomplished backcountry riders you’ve never heard of. And he’s happy to keep it that way.

    The Hypocrite

    Synopsis

    “The Hypocrite” delves into a critical discourse that is resonating with individuals across various spheres. In the context of climate advocacy, the film examines the inherent contradiction between personal actions and systemic efforts. The story is masterfully woven through the perspective of a professional skier, confronting the complex interplay between advocating for change and relying on fossil fuels for athletic pursuits. The film aspires to foster unity and collaboration within the outdoor community, transcending perceived hypocrisy and feelings of not fitting in. It aims to dismantle the culture of individual blame and guilt, focusing instead on the systemic shifts required to pave the way for a sustainable future. By erasing the boundaries that label individuals as hypocrites, the narrative invites viewers to recognize the urgent need for collective action and change.
