Lookout Wild Film Festival

 
Nearly twice as many films, a bigger screen and a new venue await movie buffs at the Lookout Wild Film Festival this weekend.
In addition to the 58 outdoor adventure and conservation films to be screened, ranging from dog sledding in Finland to sailing the Caribbean, the festival will feature after-parties each night and several Q&A sessions with filmmakers and adventurers.

 
The LWFF board and screening committee reviewed nearly 275 films from 25 countries to bring the best outdoor adventure and conservation films to Chattanooga. The team focused on stories including the tale of a loyal ski dog, a local man’s journey preparing for the Chattanooga Ironman and a World War II veteran’s return to fly-fishing streams around Normandy, France. Other films from this year’s festival will include two North Carolina paddlers exploring waterfalls in the Adirondacks, a look at how light pollution is harming Japan’s fireflies, a solo paddle down Alabama’s Cahaba River, caving in Borneo and even extreme Hula Hooping in the Tetons.

Kayaker Pat Keller and Hula Hoop master Ryan Mertaugh will help open the festival on Friday night, March 20, presenting their films. Keller stars in “Hanging Spear: Headwaters of the Hudson,” where he and fellow kayaker Steve Fisher attempt a first descent of Hanging Spear Falls in the Adirondacks. Mertaugh is the main character in “Teton Hooping Contingency,” which encourages outdoor enthusiasts to remember to enjoy the fun of being outside.
Saturday night, March 21, 15-year-old Kai Lightner and his mother, Connie, will be on hand to present “14c,” a film about Lightner’s climbing exploits and growing up in a single-parent home.
Sunday afternoon, March 22, Hunter Nichols will present “River Dreams,” his film about a 44-day canoe trip from Birmingham to the Gulf of Mexico.
The festival will take place in the Community Theatre at Memorial Auditorium.
The full schedule of screenings and events is available at www.lookoutfilmfestival.org.
