Dear Superhero

About the film: When skier Janina Kuzma becomes pregnant, she must grow into her new identity as a mother. Wrestling with the fear of losing her job as a pregnant mountain guide or being judged as a professional athlete, Janina still finds peace in the mountains. Joined by snowboarder Leanne Pelosi and professional skier Evelina Nilsson, Janina ventures deep into New Zealand’s Southern Alps to discover the superhuman powers of motherhood.

Directors: Jase Hancox, Corinna Halloran

Tuckerman's Rock

About the film: After a tragic drowning accident, surfer and meditation teacher Damian Ewens seeks to reconnect with the ocean and his own breath by setting out to walk a rock across the bottom of Easton’s Bay. A summer spent being in and listening to the ocean guides him through grief as new possibilities emerge one breath at a time.

Farm To Sea

About the film: Farm to Sea distills a regenerative organic farmer’s lifework into the timeless elements of soil, water and good old elbow grease. Set in California’s Ventura River watershed, it follows the path of water—from sea to cloud to mountain to farm to sea again—demonstrating how agricultural practices can support rather than disrupt this vital cycle.

Director: Todd Hannigan

Doors Open @ 3:30. Films begin @ 4-6pm.
