KETCHUM — One film takes viewers on an unassisted crossing of the Arctic with a couple who met at the North Pole. Another is an edge-of-the-chair, heart-thumping film that follows three BASE jumpers on a 10,000-mile cultural exploration of China into the Heavenly Pit. Still another film takes bike stunts to new extremes. These are just three of the 21 films that will be shown Thursday night, Jan. 30 and Jan. 31 in Ketchum as part of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. Organizer Michael Boge likens each film to a present about to be opened. “‘Journey to the Center’ — the one about the BASE jumpers — is a great documentary, a great culture film. And, as an added bonus, it really gets the adrenaline going as you feel what these three young bucks are about to attempt. I won’t wreck it by telling all, but it defi- nitely had me sideways in my seat in angst!” he said. “‘The Red Helmet’ shows the power of wonderment that children have and how it can become so powerful if chan- neled positively. And ’Crux’ makes our backyard stunts as kids riding bikes over Photo by JG LEYNAUD, courtesy of The Banff Centre boxes seem pretty lame.” In ‘99 Days on the Ice,’ a couple who first met at the North Pole attempt a long, difficult Arctic crossing.
