Featured film in Harrisonburg: A Line Across The Sky
The Fitz Roy Traverse is one of the most sought after achievements in modern alpinism: a gnarly journey across seven jagged summits and 13,000 vertical feet of climbing. Who knew it could be so much fun? Join Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold on the inspiring — and at time hilarious — quest that earned the Piolet D’or.
Two featured films in Charlottesville: Comes With Baggage: A Short History of Bicycle Travel from Boneshakers to Bikepackers
This lighthearted history of bicycle travel in the Americas makes you want to sell all your possessions, quit your job and escape on a bike. Past and current footage, along with interviews of bike pioneers, makers and historians are combined to give a unique perspective on where bicycles can take you both physically and spiritually.
Spine of the Continent: Five Colorado College students explore the wilderness of the Rocky Mountain West and examine what it will take to preserve this landscape in the face of climate change and rapid development. By traveling from New Mexico to British Columbia and interviewing biologists and community members, the crew delves into the changing paradigm of large landscape conservation.
Featured film in Staunton: Won’t Pipe Down
This short documentary presents the definitive David versus Goliath battle between the residents of Nelson County, Virginia and the Dominion Power company. This inside look at the community and their fight against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline raises questions about environmental justice, property rights, and individual rights.
