THE SUMMIT WITHIN. Directed by ROO SMITH. A group of international wounded, injured and sick military veterans attempt to climb a 4000+m mountain peak in Colorado, using nature as a tool for healing from the physical, mental, and emotional challenges faced by veterans and service personnel. Their goal is not only to summit the physical mountains but journey towards the summits they face within themselves. Filmmaker in attendance.

THE END. Directed by Richard Wiebe. "Things are changing; things are starting to spin, snap, fly off into the blue sleeve of the long afternoon. 'Oh' and 'ooh' come whistling out of the perished mouth of the grass, as things turn soft, boil back into substance and hue. As everything, forgetting its own enchantment, whispers: I too love oblivion..." (Mary Oliver, 1979). Premiered at the WNDX Festival of Moving Image 2022.

SAR: SEARCH AND RESCUE. Directed by Tristan Owen. Backcountry Search and Rescue volunteers in southern Colorado fight through both the mental and physical demands needed to keep the backcountry safe and accessible for all people.
