FESTIVAL WINNER: Best Film - Snow Sports

Four friends from France have a crazy idea: a self-sufficient 50-day traverse of Alaska's Denali massif. Pulling their gear in sledges, they hope to summit North America’s highest peaks, before skiing down to the Yetna River and paddling all the way to the Pacific. Wild Days takes us on a journey to a place where time drifts, spirits wander off, and where friendships are created and then tested by this committing expedition.
