North Vancouver, October 1st, 2024:
Conceived deep in the mountains and now traveling the world, Arc’teryx’s annual film tour features inspiring short films that celebrate uncommon journeys into the mountains. Each film project aims to take you around the world as athletes, individuals and awe-inspiring humans dispatch projects from Yellowknife to Vail, The Alps to Mount Hasan.
Arc’teryx Presents will showcase nine films in total, returning to stages and screens across the globe this winter, celebrating the outdoors and the people who inspire, challenge and demand change. The Arc’teryx Winter Film Tour will run from October 24 – December 14, 2024, and invites audiences to join for an evening of inspiration and storytelling.
“The Winter Film Tour allows us an opportunity to reach guests not just in the mountain towns, but across the largest cities in the world. Working closely with local community partners and bringing our athlete and friends of the brand stories to life on screens across the globe! We hope guests leave feeling inspired by the stories shown and ready for the mountains this winter” said Meg Irvine, Community Program Manager, Arc’teryx.
The Winter Film Tour offers attendees the opportunity to check out feature films premiering for the first time right in their hometown and give back to their local community. This year’s tour sees a roster of new and exciting venue stops, global athlete attendance from the Arc’teryx athlete roster and most importantly, 100% of ticket sales will be donated to local partners. Alongside world premieres,Arc’teryx will also be resurfacing some crowd favorite female-led films, including Sandy Ward’s: Slides on the Mountain, Jamie Logan’s: JAMIE, and Sylvia Forest and Danyelle Magnan: The Pass. Alongside this, there will be Q&A sessions with featured athletes, photo exhibitions, Arc’teryx gear giveaways, music, refreshments, and more.
“Snowboarding truly is a place where art and sport collide. For me being able to challenge and express myself physically and creatively on my snowboard is the greatest gift. My hope is that being able to capture these experiences through film and share them in a unique way with the world inspires others to pursue their passion.” said Elena Hight, Arc’teryx Snowboard Athlete.
