SCHEDULE OF FILMS
BOTTOMTURN - Luis Bauer - 8 Min.
Bottom Turn is a short surf film shot on location in Bali and Lombok, Indonesia between August and September 2022. Jake illiterates how his life has looked with, and without, a strong relationship with his passion.
CHICAS AL AGUA - Liz McGregor - 18 Min.
You can count the number of female paddlers in Futaleufú, Chile on one hand... and they want to change that. After many riverside matés and floating conversations, the idea to create a kayak course for local teenage girls was hatched. Thanks to a committed group of women from around the globe, what started as a dream is now an inspirational contribution to the local community.
FARM ON THE RIVER - Austin Mills - 13 Min.
Sometimes the best medicine is an early morning, a good attitude, and a fresh shucked oyster. "Farm on the River" gives an intimate look at a family-owned oyster farm on the coast of Maine, and how backbreaking work for some is a freeing experience for others.
CREATION THEORY - Ben Sturgulewski - 22 Min.
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.
ONE MILLION FISH: REVIVING CHINA LAKE OUTLET STREAM - Jerry Monkman - 13 Min.
A rewilding success story, One Million Fish chronicles the 8-year effort of a Maine community to restore a run of fish that had been blocked by dams since 1783.
FROZEN HARVEST - Mark Fleming - 3 Min.
For centuries, the people of Maine have upheld the tradition of ice harvesting. Our team had the opportunity to join volunteers at the Thompson Ice House and witness firsthand this once-thriving industry's remarkable but vulnerable legacy. As one of the few remaining ice harvests in the world, the ice house in South Bristol offers a poignant reminder of the profound impact of global warming.
WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR GOAT - Jack Lewis Elder - 6 Min.
Nico is a woman in her late 20s who lives in her sprinter van with 2 goats, 3 chickens and a dog. In this quirky 6 minute film you'll spend a day with Nico goat-packing a raft up to a high mountain lake. We take a dive into her lifestyle, the goats' personalities, and Nico's deeper mission to use her unique lifestyle for sustainability education.
