Ruin and Rose 2.jpg

Crested Butte Film Festival brings back from the vaults one of our favorite ski films of all time, Matchstick Productions’ RUIN AND ROSE. Produced right here in CB, RUIN AND ROSE is the kind of film we love to show: a high-flying mix of ski film and a thoroughly crafted story of environmental apocalypse set in the dunes of Africa’s Skeleton Coast. In a surreal future, the world is left without mountains or snow, entirely consumed by sand: The Big Empty. When a group of children discover a missing relic that hints at the lost wonders of winter, they set off on an epic journey to find the ghosts who once called the mountains their home: today’s world-class skiers. Get ready to rip. Satisfy both your stoke and your storytelling bent with RUIN AND ROSE.

CHASING GHOSTS
Eric Bendick | 15 mins

In their quest to identify the pollinator of the ghost orchid for the first time, this team of conservation photographers, filmmakers, and scientists spent three summers standing waist-deep in alligator and snake-infested waters, swatting air blackened by mosquitoes, and climbing to sometimes nausea-inducing heights. They came away with an even deeper love for Florida’s wildest wetlands—and with surprising discoveries that may help to conserve both the endangered orchid and its shrinking environment.

In rural Utah, a valley of world-class bouldering is nestled among a conservative community of Mormons, cowboys and coal miners.

But in this divided era, is that even possible?
