Playlist for the Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour in Chattanooga

Here is the play list for the Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour in Chattanooga.

Trial and Error: Progression -
Ryan Leech is given a challenge: to create the most progressive and challenging mountain bike line possible through an old-growth forest and then ride it. Witness a short expose of a top biking talent who pushes his skills in a new environment, one that is slated to be destroyed.

The Last Frontier: Conservation and Exploration in Papua New Guinea -
This project documents the harrowing first kayaking exploration of New Britain, Papua New Guinea and tells the story of this threatened rain forest.

Losing the Elephants -
Losing the Elephants examines an animal that is lodged deep in our psyches, and also one in dire straights. It is estimated that by the early 2050s there will no longer be a viable population of Asian elephants left. Can we be satisfied with this outcome? Is it important to make sure that Asia’s elephants make it? Losing the Elephants
examines these questions and reveals elephants like no visit to the zoo or circus ever will.

Monty Python: Climbing Oxbridge Road -
Once in a great while, there is a first ascent of a difficult piece of rock. The expedition team must be at the top of their game in order to succeed: or face the
consequences of tragedy. This rare footage tells a tale of such an attempt, as only a Python tale could.

--Intermission 15 minutes--

Spray: Window of Opportunity -
Follow Chris Lindner as he sets out to explore the treasures of California's northern coastline, searching for America's next great rock climb.

A Land Out of Time (festival cut) -
The biggest land grab in American history is devouring the Rocky Mountain West as the oil-and-gas industry leases millions of acres of public land, with plans to drill hundreds of thousands of gas wells. The drilling blitz ranges from New Mexico to Montana and threatens some of America’s last and best wild lands. Westerners who
have lived on the land for generations tell the story and foment a backlash against the Bush Administration energy policies

Good Riddance: Air Pollution -
An unscheduled stop on a railroad crossing leads to a radical redesign of the Eco Van. So what do you get when you join the front half of a VW Beetle with the rear of a Morris Minor van? A quiet pollution-free vehicle—albeit one without an engine. But alternative energy sources are waiting to be tapped: the sun, the wind, the rain…
maybe even a couple of freeloading rats.

Pickin' & Trimmin' -
PICKIN’ & TRIMMIN’ drops by The Barbershop in Drexel, North Carolina, where the atmosphere is laid back and the music is a cut above the rest.

Play Gravity (Segment) -
We don't fight gravity - we play with it...What happens when two sports get one!

Total Show Time: 135 minutes

We hope to see you this Thursday February 26, at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre for the Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour!
