About Pure:
When we are young, we chase and pursue our dreams without hesitation, with the pure curiosity of a child. Solely driven by the need to capture the pure feeling of living in the moment. And although our grown-up lives are sometimes burdened by responsibilities and the awareness of the complexity of life, we are still driven by the constant search for the special moments. Moments, in which we experience pure happiness, independence, fear and freedom – they keep pushing us to explore our limits. In Pure, the second ‘Shades of Winter’ movie by Austrian freeskier and filmmaker Sandra Lahnsteiner an all-female group of exceptional skiers take the viewers on a journey of unspoilt adventures. This fall, 52 minutes of pure bliss will boost your urge to get out into the mountains and feel alive.
Unique little moments that may seem ordinary to an outsider, but are truly magical when you experience them first hand and the fear that threatens to hold us back from excelling when taking on an unfamiliar landscape – just two of a whole range of emotions that this film evokes.
