23.4 Degrees

Storyline

Journey with professional skier Anna Segal across the valleys, forests, boulder fields, and mountain summits of British Columbia as she questions her affinity with seasonal change and its role in connecting our modern lifestyle to the natural world. The ephemeral seasons that punctuate our year come from the Earth’s elliptical orbit around the sun and the tilt of its axis, which is 23.4 degrees. This poetically phrased short film explores the transformation of mountain landscapes and how humans are internally and externally affected by these changes.
