NISEI
ABOUT THE FILM
NISEI (nee-say) is a creative exploration of the biracial experience of skier, Sierra Schlag. While in Japan, she is seen as white and while in America, she is seen as Japanese and never accepted as her full self. Through the lens of skiing, Schlag finds herself on a journey to self-discovery within the two cultures she has ties to.

CONSONANCE
ABOUT THE FILM
Consonance means "harmony or agreement among components," as well as "correspondence or recurrence of sounds." A balance between fast and slow pacing, soft and powerful expression, Erin Spong’s CONSONANCE dances the line between harmonized breath and movement.

SHIFTING TERRAIN
ABOUT THE FILM
Jac Pollard was cruising the legendary slopes of Alta, Utah before she was big enough to buckle her own ski boots. She started doing freeride comps when she was twelve. “It was a way to hang out with my friends, get outside, eat candy without my parents knowing, and become a part of a community I really liked.” She quickly became a proven contender on the Freeride World Tour—until.
In 2023, Jac tomahawked off a cliff, suffering a traumatic brain injury. Through her recovery, she began to reimagine her relationship with freeskiing, turning her back on the pervasive push-through-it mentality that had ruled the sport for too long. Instead, Jac has made fresh tracks as a coach who evokes positivity, community and lifelong connection with the mountains for the next generation of freeskiers.
