RED Film program

We’re stoked to announce this year’s two film programs! Get ready to witness a selection of the best festival entries, award-winners, and crowd favorites straight from the Canadian festival scene.

The RED film program brings you 8 films straight from the Canadian festival scene. It’s a diverse mix of films with different themes and lengths that will keep you glued to the screen. Our awesome host will be there to introduce the festival and each film, plus they’ll be rockin’ some sick giveaways and more.

We’ll take a chill break around halfway through the evening for about 20 minutes. And don’t worry about the language barrier, because all the films either have English audio or English subtitles.

RED program – 8 epic mountain stories


Anytime – Cali (Tour Edit)

For the most progressive rider in the sport, their frontier is truly defined by breaking new ground for what is possible on a bike. In the last 3 years Emil Johansson has won 8 consecutive Crankworx slopestyle titles, the longest winning streak in the sport’s history, and counting. His goal for a film segment: to not be held back by any limitations other than himself. In order to achieve this, he needs a perfect canvas – the right dirt, conditions, build crew, landscape and of course, time.

Of A Lifetime

Of a Lifetime is a celebration of discovery, adventure, and the passing of the torch to the next generation against the breathtaking backdrop of Antarctica. It chronicles the renowned De Le Rue family’s journey as Xavier, Victor, and 18-year-old Mila sail across the Drake Passage to ride the unimaginably steep icy lines of the white continent. This skilled team, accompanied by renowned guides Hélias Millerioux and Jean-Yves Fredriksen, finds themselves propelled into a space where time seems to have suddenly come to a halt.

Paus – intermission

Halfway through, we’ll take a 20-minute break — a great chance to step outside, grab a snack or something to drink, and get some fresh air. Take the time to chat with some of the awesome exhibitors and partners who are here today.
