Lineup Sneak Peak

A Baffin Vacation, Love on Ice (Moraine Playlist)

Join adventurers Erik and Sarah on an outrageous Baffin Vacation as they kiteski north along the remote coastline of Baffin. Over their 69-day holiday, they ski mountains, climb an epic big wall, and cross a glacier in search of new rivers to whitewater kayak.

Best Day Ever (Moraine Playlist)

Best Day Ever follows the stories of adaptive mountain bikers Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi as they work through the relentless challenges of their disabilities and embrace the tremendous support, friendship, and joy they find in their rural Vermont riding community. Allie and Greg navigate disability and regain independence with humor, attitude, and grit on mountain bike trails that dismantle ableism, build community, and become a blueprint for trails everywhere. Best Day Ever was the winner of Banff’s 2025 Best Film: Mountain Sports and Banff’s 2025 Audience Choice Award.

Old Man Lightning (Serac Playlist)

Old Man Lightning is the best climbing, comedy, comeback ever made, with a conservation plight. "The film will make you laugh, cry, and, as the Banff critics shared, "maybe pee yer pants." Old Man Lightning was the winner of Banff’s 2025 Best Film: Climbing.
