PATAGONIA PRESENTS A SERIES OF SHORT FILMS ON THE JOY OF SNOW MOTION

This January, Patagonia will release a series of short films dedicated to the joys of moving on snow. From the magic of mastering a turn, to technical freeriding in the backcountry, to the power of passion and community in an ancient mill in France, each piece is a tale of what time in nature can give us—and how transformative human-powered movement can be.

Touring across Europe, the snow movie nights will celebrate the stories and characters that make up the snow community and remind us why protecting winters matters. At each stop, Patagonia ambassadors, filmmakers and NGO partners will open conversations about the simple joy of sliding on snow and the shared responsibility we have in caring for the places we get to play in.

Le Moulin des Artistes – directed by Pierre Cadot

Some people make a living from their craft. Others can’t live without it. In a 16th century mill in the Chamonix valley, Peter and Anati run Le Moulin des Artistes: a ski workshop, art space, and gathering place for like-minded free spirits.

Simple as a Turn – directed by Pierre Cadot

For Nicholas Wolken, turning is more than snowboarding’s foundation. It’s the simplest expression of what riding is all about. And from going pro to shaping snowboards made for turns, he’s spent much of his life chasing the deep feelings that come with carving on snow.

DIG – directed by Nicholas Teichrob

Riding down a 4,000-foot face is one thing but hiking up is a whole other level of gnarly. The vertical relief is so extreme that even a small snowball can quickly grow into a dangerous slide, and the snow quality could unexpectedly change in the space of a few steps.

The films will premiere in Salzburg, Austria, on 16 January before touring across European cities and snow locations.
