Backcountry Film Festival
Snowlands Network and Artemisia Moviehouse are once again bringing the Backcountry Film Festival 2011/12 to Reno.
Whether you are a fan of the backcountry, sidecountry, the Nordic trails or simply hot chocolate by the fire, you won't want to miss this celebration of the winter experience. If you haven't been before, you are in for a treat.
The seventh annual world tour of the Backcountry Film Festival highlights the beauty and fun of the winter backcountry experience. Submissions come from renowned filmmakers who travel every corner of the globe to submit their best backcountry work, and from grassroots filmmakers who take a video camera out on their weekend excursions and submit their best film short.
This year's program includes nine different films including festival award winners Solitaire from Sweetgrass Productions, voted Best of Festival. Two years in the making, this film from the wilderness of South America is worth the wait. The Best Short award goes to Chalk and Ski. Produced by Chris Dicky and Purple Orange LLC, it's a chalk-in-hand daydream about skiing and winter. And the Best of the Backcountry award goes to a Breaking Trail from Powderwhore Productions. Known for their amazing ability to capture deep powder and fresh lines, brothers Noah and Jonah Howell remind us why we venture into the backcountry.
The event is a fundraiser for Snowlands Network. Snowlands Network is the only organization in California and Nevada dedicated to representing the needs of backcountry skiers, snowshoers, snowboarders and other outdoors people who value the physical and spiritual joys of winter and winter travel using their own muscle power. The goal is to promote safety and solitude on every winter adventure.
