epic powder days.

Dick Barrymore became one of the world's best ski
filmmakers after giving up his job as a fireman in
Los Angeles, hitting the road with his 16mm movie
camera. During his 30 year career Barrymore made
more than 50 films. Mr. Barrymore organized the
first Hot Dog contest, staged the first aerial ski
events, and pioneered heli-skiing in the Canadian
Rockies. Dick Barrymore passed away in August of
2008, this is the best of his work, and some of the
best of all time.
Dick Barrymore, USA, 113mins, retrospective EL CAPITAN 3:30pm - Saturday, October 10th, Taos Community Auditorium Chronicling an epic journey in the vertical plane, "El Capitan" runs the range of emotions. At once hilarious and terrifying, prosaic and lyrical, Fred Padula's classic film traces the struggles of three climbers making the third ascent of the infamous ÔNose' route on the highest rock face in North America, El Capitan. As an archive it is priceless. As a climbing film it is peerless. "El Capitan" has won accolades wherever it has screened, and richly deserves the highest praise it received from the leading figure of Yosemite's Golden Age, Yvon Chouinard, who called it "The best climbing film I've ever seen." This will be the first ever screening of the recently digitized version. Fred Padula, 60 min, 1978, USA In Person, Fred Padula, Richard McCracken, Lito Tejada-Flores EXPEDITION MANASLU 3:30pm - Saturday, October 10th, Taos Community Auditorium 
This film follows two skiers who have decided that just skiing is not enough. The decision
they arrive at is to climb and ski down Manaslu, the eighth highest mountain in the world,
located in the Nepalese Himalayas.
David Kaufmann, Germany, 30 min, 20086 FARMS: A FILM FROM MY PARISH 11:30am - Saturday, October 10th, The Taos Gallery  Shot on location in North Tipperary, Ireland, Tony Donoghue blends still images,
animation and film in this lovely short representing six small farms.
Tony Donoghue, Ireland, 7mins 10 sec, 2008FREEDOM RIDERS 9:30am - Sunday, October 11th, Taos Community Auditorium 
Freedom Riders follows the people and events of downhill mountain biking, from it's
infancy, to the phenomenon that it is today, as well as a group of renegade downhill
mountain bikers who let nothing stand between them and gravity. Beginning with
conflict and clandestine trail building, these riders eventually gain acceptance and form
a collaborative relationship with the Forest Service, implementing the first downhill
