Saturday Evening, Gold Miners InnCarving Landscapes
Agathe Bernard | 2018 | 6 minAtypical for her time, Mary Vaux defies all gender roles, mountain weather, and traditions to spark the first glaciology study in North America. Her perseverance brings her back to the same glacier for five decades.
Treeline
Jordan Manley, Laura Yale | 2018 | 40 minQuietly, patiently, trees endure. They are the oldest living beings we come to know during our time on earth. They can provide our shelter, our fuel, companionship, and - in some cases - our divinity. They are living bridges into our planet's enormous past, their stories written into their rings over centuries and even millennia.
Treeline takes us to the enshrined cypress groves of Japan, the towering red cedars of British Columbia, and the ancient bristlecones of Nevada, following skiers, snowboarders, scientists, and healers as they explore a connection older than humanity.
Metamorphosis
Nova Ami, Velcrow Ripper | 2018 | 85 minA poem for the planet, Metamorphosis takes the pulse of our Earth and bears witness to a moment of profound change: the loss of one world, and the birth of another. Forest fires consume communities, species vanish, and entire ecosystems collapse. Economic growth, tied to the increased speed of resource extraction, has created a machine with the capacity to destroy all life. But this crisis is also an opportunity for transformation.
Metamorphosis carves a path from the present to the future and offers a bold new vision for humanity and the world.
