Cheers

The list of films is being finalized now, its dependent on which filmmakers allow their films to be part of the tour.
The cost is $15.00
Dean's film, Aerialist, is actually part of a longer which featuring more of the Yosemite Stone Monkeys and will be coming to Squamish as part of the Reel Rock tour this fall. I've already spoken to Dean and he may be interested in coming to Squamish with the film at that time.
I really tried to get a speaker for this screening of the Best of the Fest but without any sponsors (other than the Howe Sound Brewery) I couldn't afford to bring anyone in, besides the program of films runs pretty long anyway.
The films are great! There's a good mix of BASE, climbing, mountaineering, mountain-biking, kayaking and environmental awareness.
Spread the word!
The Squamish Mountain Festival is gearing up already and we've got a stellar line-up of speakers coming!
Thanks!

SQUAMISH/WHISTLER - PROGRAM OF FILMS
Great White Fright
UK, 2006, 13 min
Directed by Sandy Ogilvie
Ian Parnell and Chris Cubitt tackle the awesomely classic and airy route on the chalk cliffs of Dover, using ice-climbing gear.
University Wall
Canada, 2006, 12 min
Directed by Ivan Hughes, Produced by Angela Heck
In 1965, four university students, Glenn Woodsworth, Hamish Mutch, Tim Auger and Dan Tate, began cutting classes so that they could attempt a new route up the Squamish Chief, each day they would push the route higher and at the end of each adventure they would return to their books. In a time of youthful rebellion and enthusiasm they also began to climb the walls of the university. University Wall is a magical musical ride through the archives and an entertaining look at the historical exploits that inspired the young lads to take their academic studies to new heights.
49 Megawatts
Canada, 2007, 30 min
Directed and produced by Bryan Smith
As the world begins to acknowledge the need to curb greenhouse gas emissions in an attempt to slow global warming, British Columbia is responding with an aggressive push for clean and sustainable energy. 49 Megawatts takes a close look at the future of British Columbia’s rivers after the issuing of hundreds of private water licenses for power production.
Committed
UK, 2007, 30 min (short festival version)
Directed by Paul Diffley & Dave Brown, Produced by Dave Brown
Featuring Britain's best rock climbers, plus top overseas visitors, Committed packs in over 200 'E' points of action: The hardest and most dangerous ascents that have been grabbing the climbing headlines across the world.
Brother
Canada, 2006, 13 min
Directed & Produced by Syd Woodward
High up in the mountains of Gold River on the Vancouver Island two brothers have come together. In the midst of flying wood chips and pounding nails, an inseparable bond has been made through their love for mountain biking. Meet The Fawbert Brothers.
Skiing in the Shadow of Ghengis Khan
USA, 2007, 49 min
Directed & produced by Nils Larsen
In 2005 Nils Larsen, Dave Waag, and Naheed Henderson journeyed to the Altai Mountains of NW China to document the indigenous use of skis. Nils followed this first trip with two additional trips into this remote region and what he found was a rich culture that still builds and uses skis in ways that date back thousands of years.

There has been a slight program change for the Squamish screening;
We will now be screening "Baffin, a Children's Island" in place of "Skiing in the Shadow of Genghis Khan".
Here's the Baffin info;
Baffin, a Children’s Island
France, 2007, 40 min
Directed by Sam Beaugey, Produced by Seven Doc
In 2007, The International Polar Year, six French mountaineers went to the Baffin Island in Canada and spent seven weeks discovering big-wall climbing, skiing and base-jumping in these remote corners of the world. This is an incredible film filled with spectacular filming of aid climbing on the 2000ft towering walls, and the incredible jumps from the summits plus local culture. The climbing footage feels really airy.
