bigwavedave Posted November 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 We went to all 3 nights of films. One of the best was "The Search for Freedom" (special edit about 20min). A more appropriate titled might be "The Quest for Now". It features all kinds of outdoor activities from surfing and snowboarding to windsurfing and mt biking and climbing, to wing suit flying...and interviews with pioneers and greats of each sport coupled with fantabulous, mesmerizing cinematography. It was a beautiful experience and it got to the core of our addiction. Here's a link to the trailer, which doesn't really do the movie justice, but worth a look http://thesearchforfreedom.com/trailer/ And a memorable quote from the film... " Many claim that the freedom experienced when you are riding a moving wave, becoming part of that wave for an instant, is impossible to shake. It’s a state of grace. And it’s the same whether you’re sliding on snow, skateboarding on concrete, or mountain biking through a rainforest. Veteran surf publisher Steve Pezman taps into the source: “The wave is forming in front of you, the wave is over your head, your wake is disappearing, your footprints are washed from the beach. There’s no material production from having done it. There’s no depletion. There’s no creation. It’s just an aesthetic instant.” That aesthetic instant is the real subject of The Search for Freedom."
