Wins for Slides on the Mountain
It’s been special to see Slides on the Mountain make it’s way into the world, and to feel the electric response to it in theatres from all kinds of people in all kinds of places. As two cherries on top of a beautiful festival run, it was awarded Best Mountain Culture Film at VIMFF 2024, and Best Mountain Culture Short Film from Whistler Film Festival 2023. As a project with a heap of love poured into it from every team member, I reckon it deserves no less.
The VIMFF jury kindly said:
“Slides on the Mountain is more than just a ski film; it is a celebration of culture, community, and the deep connections rooted between land and people. This stunning film did an excellent job of capturing the brothers’ journey to gain the skills and courage to face the mountain, while also exploring the broader significance of their endeavor within their community and culture.”
– Alec Suriyuth, VIMFF 2024 Jury
