Featured Films:
Let My People Skiing
Award-winning documentary short directed by Tlingit skier and scientist Ellen Bradley. The film follows her journey in Southeast Alaska, blending traditional ecological knowledge with science and sport to help Alaska Native youth reclaim their ancestral connection to the land — and challenge colonial narratives in the outdoor industry.
Goochie
Adaptive mountain biking is gaining momentum worldwide — and its true potential is just getting started. Filmed at Whistler Mountain Bike Park in Whistler on the unceded territories of the Lil'wat Nation and Squamish Nation, Goochie spreads the stoke about a growing sport that’s rewriting the rules of the trail.
First In, First Out
When competitive swimmer from Colorado Christa Funk joined the United States Coast Guard, she found herself stationed on Oahu for five years — where she discovered the world of surf photography. Inspired by the memory of her father and his parting words, Funk pushed herself into the world’s most dangerous and crowded surf lineups, becoming one of the best surf photographers in the world — and notably, one of the few women out there.
