Transferring Line:

Transferring Line is the story of three males as they search to cement their names within the ski historical past books, after which stumble into one thing rather more profound: their ardour for creating artwork.

Their profitable ski expedition in 1978 was the primary of its sort, following the Continental Divide by Colorado for 500 miles, and serving to to map the Colorado Path. However by the point the group arrived on the finish of their journey, they’d realized they’d been chasing the identical feeling anybody who spends sufficient time within the mountains is chasing: artistic inspiration.

Transferring Line juxtaposes colourful imagery of the skiers’ artworks to stark and beautiful authentic images of mountains by no means earlier than shot in winter.
