Filmmaker Filip Christensen has graduated to the big leagues. The Norwegianbased Field Productions left the native
land to shoot everywhere from Finland to California to British Columbia. Staggeringly large park jumps, stunning pillow lines and urban-so-technical-it’ll-make-your-head-spin comes at you from multiple angles, RED cameras, cable cams, and helicopter follows. The sparse narrative never gets distracting or too deep, allowing athletes like Jon Olsson, Eric Hjorleifson, PK Hunder, Aleksander Aurdal and Tom Wallisch (among others) to let the skiing do the talking. Bottom line: Norwegians don’t just export oil and pillage the countryside in Viking ships, they can make great ski fi lms, too.
