Jumbo Wild 
60 min/ documentary/ USA
“It’s easy to want to distill the Jumbo story into a pretty classic case of good versus evil,” said filmmaker Nick Waggoner. “But this is really about different value systems, and how so many different people have different dreams for the exact same place.”
For four months last winter, Waggoner, of Sweetgrass Productions, embedded himself in one of the most contentious issues affecting the North American ski industry: the proposed development of Jumbo Glacier Resort in British Columbia’s Purcell Mountains. He sought out to make a film and earned access to emotional opinions on different sides of the story, producing the most definitive film on the subject.
A 24-year saga, the proposed Jumbo development pits a good-versus-evil narrative, with characters like Italian Oberto Oberti and his partner Grant Costello trying to build their dream of a European-style resort in terrain Waggoner calls “Little Alaska.” Meanwhile, environmentalists, conservationists, the Ktunaxa FirstNation, and an imprecise number of backcountry skiers and locals in nearby Invermere and the Columbia Valley oppose the “mega-resort” for several reasons—most notably, to retain the pristine beauty and what the Ktunaxa refer to the area as Qat’muk, the sacred home of the grizzly bear spirit.
This scalding debate is not exclusive to a 5,000-person town, or province, or country. It’s happening in your own backyard, in disparate scales, across North America and beyond right now: to retain wilderness, or enable more to experience it? What is the answer?
“The face value story has been told, regurgitated over and over again,” said Waggoner. “But the really human stories have not. So how do you communicate emotions that are very meaningful to different groups of people in a government that doesn’t qualify or calculate emotions?”
In “Jumbo Wild: The Movement,” this exclusive seven-minute preview of the full-length film, Jumbo Wild, Waggoner tells the story of British Columbia skier Leah Evans and how her parents told her long ago that she must protect this place.
Who decides the outcome of one of the most spectacular lots of land on this planet?

Reach yout Limits
50 min/ documentary/ Bulgaria
Kom-Emine is the longest tourist route in Bulgaria. It crosses the country from the western to the eastern point of the so-called Old Mountain. Kom-Emine is a legendary route. Many people say they hold the record – 5 days, 7 days, 20 days. It’s like the time it takes to walk it through measures how much someone has overcame his survival instinct.
In fact it usually takes about 20-25 days to hike the distance of 600 km and 14 600 m alltitude. In August 2014 Kiril Nikolov – Disl is going after a new record – to finish the challenge in less than 5 days.
The distance is not the most important thing that he is going to accomplish. The real challenge is the journey that will help him get to know his own strengths and weaknesses, and what is really pushing him go further. Getting out of his comfort zone, out in the wild, makes people really appreciate life.
Kiril Nikolov – Disl is one of the most rewarded orienteer in Bulgaria. At the age of 32, he is about to face the toughest challenge in his professional career. To run from Kom to Emine for less than 5 days. For the first time Kiril will find himself out of his comfort zone, not knowing whether he is gonna be able to complete the challenge or not. He will have to run for about 120 km every day, 5 days in a row. The distance of 120 km is insane, but when you do it for 5-6 days in a row it is absolute madness. As he says “It was about time for mе to face that challenge. I wanted to reach my limits, to see if I am strong enough. I wanted to see if I am able to overcome my survival instinct.”
