Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right 🌙💫 Presented with High St. Hop House, take a long, strange trip with MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON, playing at The Nightlight Cinema! 🎿❄️⛷️
In "Mountains of the Moon", world renowned artist and skier, Chris Benchetler explores the unseen connections between sport, life, music, and the living earth—set to the timeless tunes of the Grateful Dead. Captured almost entirely at night using cutting-edge cinematography, lasers, animation, and projection mapping, the film leads viewers on a surreal journey through ocean, river, and mountain landscapes.
The world’s greatest athletes, adventurers, and thinkers appear as luminous figures, navigating through the natural world.
At its core, the film reflects on what makes us human. The glowing skeletons represent the essential truth of our existence, the light within us all no matter our external differences. Through their journey, the film reflects on life and death, the resilience of nature, and the threads of humanity that bind us together.”
