Selected for the screenings, hosted by The Community, a church based in Fayetteville, include:
"Builder" -- Some people grow up and leave childish things behind, but building trails and tricks for your mountain bike never gets old, no matter your age
"The Important Places" -- Using a mix of old 16mm footage and new visuals, a son rediscovers the necessity of returning to and protecting "the important places" in our lives.
"The Warmth of Winter" -- Outside, the snow flies and the wind roars. But here, quiet and safe in the candlelight, take shelter from the storm. There is no warmth like a warmth found in winter.
"Eclipse" -- The odds are low, the risks are high -- photographer Reuben Krabbe is determined to capture a photo of a skier in front of the 2015 solar eclipse in Svalbard. But the weather's bad, the guide is sketchy, the pressure is massive, and the skiers just want to ski.
