Adventure, environment and climate, youth outdoors, ski culture - you’ll find it all in this award winning lineup. Films in this year’s program include:
The Space Within - The space within whispers of another world, holding magic unlike anything he has seen before. Follow DPS Cinematic to this world.
Ruth Gorge - Follow this expedition skiing piece in Alaska’s Ruth Gorge with Noah Howell and Ben Peters.
Adventure Not War - Stacy Bare returns home from war by way of his ongoing project, Adventure Not War: To promote world peace and understanding through adventure.
Below 0 - Nature has two meanings, on one hand it is the natural environment where all life develops; on the other hand, nature is understood as the essence of being. The events in Below 0 are narrated metaphorically from Vladimir Kozlov, a Russian-born meteorologist who lived 20 years in the Arctic.
Follow Through - In this age of hyper connectivity, which voices do we choose to hear and which do we ignore? A story of loss, of community respect and of belonging, Caroline Gleich sets out to complete her vision.

End of Snow - Join Snow Scientist Dr. Jane Zelikova to embark on a journey into the mountains to find the tales of the past, present and future of snow.
Idaho 12vers Project - Project also known as “It’s that peak, that one, just right over there”
Genesis - A trio of powder professors ascend Alaska’s Chugach. The mountains become the laboratory in which they embark to form theories of mankind’s oldest questions: how did life begin, and what makes this life worth living?
The Space Within - The space within whispers of another world, holding magic unlike anything he has seen before. Follow DPS Cinematic to this world.
