Olympic slopestyle skier and X Games medalist, Anna Segal, and Freeride World Tour athlete sister, Nat Segal, have
teamed up with professional skier Izzy Lynch and adventure photographer Zoya Lynch to showcase their films – Finding
the Line and Kindred on a tour through B.C. and Alberta this fall.
Both films exhibit independently produced female content that not only showcase reels of rad skiing but explore themes
of risk, fear, family, relationships and personal empowerment. Snowsport lover or not, you will be entranced by the action,
drawn into the journey and walk away inspired for winter.
The film will be showing in Revelstoke on Nov. 9 at the Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre.
As professional athletes the Segals have confronted fear on numerous occasions from mammoth mountains to
enormous terrain park jumps, yet, despite being brought up under the same roof, they have learned to deal with fear in
almost contrasting ways, neither leading them to the success they dreamed of.
A heartfelt journey on the knife’s edge of big mountains throughout Canada and France push them to their physical and
emotional limits. The extreme skiing mecca of Alaska pushes them beyond. The Australian sisters soon realize that the
most important lessons lie within each others’ approach.
The Lynchs were just regular kids growing up in the city, until their parents made one split-second decision that
would completely change their lives. Kindred is the story about their family’s unlikely journey to becoming backcountry
lodge owners and how it guided them both professionally and personally.
Through archival photos and interviews from the Lynch family, combined with stunning imagery of Amiskwi Lodge in the
Canadian Rockies, this film inspires viewers to consider their own leaps-of-faith and how they may have defined their
lives.
Part of the profits of the screening will go towards running Girls Do Ski nonprofit 12 Under 20 for 2019, which provides a
free AST 1 course for women under 20 years old.
