Head on down to Thredbo’s Kosciuszko room on July 20 at 6pm for a free screening of Finding the Line, a ski documentary from Anna and Nat Segal.
The backcountry skiing event will feature Thredbo Backcountry Tours guide, Jake Iskov, who will talk all things backcountry in Australia and answer any questions you have about the new backcountry tours and skiing in Australia’s untouched terrain.
After the backcountry tours talk, the crew from Thredbo will then be hosting professional Australian skiers, Anna and Nat Segal’s film Finding the Line.
Finding the Line is a film about fear, its paralysing grip on humans and how it affects our decision-making. In this documentary film, Olympian and X Games Slopestyle champion Anna Segal and her Freeride World Tour, big mountain skiing sister, Nat Segal, use their skiing to understand fear and how it manifests in the two siblings’ lives.’
The film had its world premiere in Whistler in January and an Australian premiere in Melbourne in May with a three city tour of Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. The film is now screening in regional areas including Bright and Mt Buller.
Finding the Line has been selected by the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival, the No Mans Land Film Festival in the USA, Fjell Film Festival in Norway, the Milano Montagna Festival in Italy and the Whistler Film Festival.
A heartfelt journey on the knife’s edge of big mountains throughout Canada and France push the sisters to their physical and emotional limits in the film and the extreme skiing mecca of Alaska pushes them beyond.
The Australian sisters soon realise that the most important lessons lie within each others’ approach. Equipped with greater insight, they negotiate the fine balance between staying in their comfort zone and taking too much risk, learning that sometimes to move forward, you need to understand what is holding you back.
