SUMMARY:Toyota presents "After the Snowfall" a Matchstick Production
DESCRIPTION:Opening on a quiet\, storm-buried morning\, After The Snowfall is a high-octane and heartfelt journey through the culture and chaos of modern skiing. Filmed in stunning locations from the Lyngen Alps of Norway to the heli-accessed steeps of British Columbia\, the film showcases an elite crew of skiers\, including Michelle Parker\, Nikolai Schirmer\, Nico Porteous\, Caite Zeliff\, and more\, pushing boundaries with jaw-dropping style and skill. \nBut this is not just a story about pros. It is about the everyday ski bum\, the weekend warrior\, and the mountain town lifer whose passion burns just as bright. Interwoven throughout the action are honest and irreverent reflections from both athletes and everyday skiers on what skiing means to them; why they risk injury\, chase fleeting storms\, and build their lives around snow. The film explores both the literal mountains they climb and the internal terrain they navigate: personal growth\, camaraderie\, obsession\, and joy. \nWith Matchstick Productions’ signature blend of cinematic artistry and raw stoke\, After The Snowfall is a reminder that skiing is more than a sport\, it is a way of life. Presented by Toyota and supported by The North Face and Stanley\, this film is a tribute to the people\, places\, and powder turns that make it all worth it. \n

SUMMARY:Teton Gravity Research Presents Pressure Drop
DESCRIPTION:Pressure Drop is the latest chapter in a 30-year journey—forged from a dream\, fueled with cash from commercial fishing in Alaska\, and driven by an obsession with life on the edge. \nThis film follows the world’s best skiers and snowboarders\, alongside the next generation\, through Alaskan spines\, stacked pillow lines\, massive cliffs\, giant couloirs\, deep powder\, and insane jumps. From Norway to British Columbia\, California to Alaska\, and home in Jackson Hole\, Wyoming\, each line becomes a brushstroke in the art of descent. \nPressure Drop captures that fleeting space between calm and chaos—when breath slows\, vision sharpens\, and the mountain demands everything. It’s the moment before gravity takes over. \nFor three decades\, we’ve stood at the edge—where fear meets flow and everything else fades. Pressure Drop continues the tradition of what it means to dedicate your life to the fall line. \nLocations: Jackson Hole\, Wyoming\, Lofoten Islands\, Norway\, Valdez\, Alaska\, Grand Targhee\, Wyoming\, Interior British Columbia\, Haines\, Alaska\, Palisades Tahoe\, California. \nSTARRING: Sage Cattabriga-Alosa\, Ian McIntosh\, Nick McNutt\, Kai Jones\, Parkin Costain\, McRae Williams\, Maggie Voisin\, Colter Hinchliffe\, Jim Ryan\, Molly Armanino\, Kirsty Muir\, Grace Henderson\, Troy Podmilsak\, Teal Harle\, Kelly Hilleke\, Madison Rose Ostergren\, Simon Hillis\, Jeremy Jones\, Cass Jones\, Mia Jones.

Created by circus visionary Yaron Lifschitz\, Humans 2.0 is intimate\, primal and deeply engaged with the challenge of being human. \n“A striking spectacle of beauty\, a real ode to the graceful power of the human body” – La Presse\nHumans 2.0 is commissioned by The Mondavi Center\, UC Davis\nCirca acknowledges the assistance of the Australian Government through Creative Australia\, its principal arts investment and advisory body and the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.\n
