SNAIL HUNTERS w/ HOY’RI

SNAIL HUNTERS

A team of kooky biologists from the University of Idaho travels to the Galapagos Islands to solve the Earth’s biodiversity crisis. But they aren’t studying the iconic tortoises or blue footed boobies on this storied archipelago—they are Snail Hunters, studying a more unlikely subject in the crucible of evolution.

60 minutes, dir. Jim Aikman

HOY’RI

For the Licantanay, the original inhabitants of the Atacama, Hoy’ri means Earth. In the world’s driest desert, where stromatolites — the oldest fossil evidence of life on the planet — still persist, paleontologists excavate the past in search of answers about the evolution of life and the cosmos. The desert’s aridity preserves primitive conditions from 3.5 billion years ago, inspiring a quest for answers that transcend time.

14 minutes, dir Marcio Pimenta


KAI JONES’ FALLING INTO PLACE

Kai Jones, born into his father Todd Jones’ iconic action sports production company Teton Gravity Research, became a professional skier at just twelve years old. Kai swiftly rose to the top of freeskiing with viral videos that earned him four consecutive Skier of the Year nominations beginning at the unheard-of age of fourteen. This film offers an unfiltered look at Kai’s journey following a near-fatal, potentially career-ending ski accident at sixteen. The film documents his journey through multiple surgeries, intense rehabilitation, and the mental and physical struggles he faced as he fought to return to the top of mountain.

FAIRY CREEK

The Fairy Creek (Ada’itsx) valley sprawls across Pacheedaht First Nation territory on southwestern Vancouver Island and its old growth forest ecosystem thrives with lush foliage, ancient tree trunks, and a variety of wildlife. However, the decimating chainsaws and tractor machinery of the Teal Jones lumber corporation disrupt this equilibrium as they ravage an environmental haven into pavement for their road-building project. Amidst the tumult, Jen Muranetz’s FAIRY CREEK captures the vast collective protests against this destructive logging operation: a movement which has spawned both the largest demonstration of civil disobedience in Canadian history and the mass arrests of 1200 people.
