Telluride: Video

Mountains, adventure, adrenaline, alpinists, climbers, culture, environment. It's all happening at MountainFilm in Telluride, from May 23 to 26. Get ready.

Recently, Plum had an opportunity to catch up with producer Alex Gibney at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Gibney's documentary, "Taxi to the Dark Side," just won an Academy Award for Best Documentary. Plum's Jeb Berrier sits down with Gibney to discuss the film, getting nominated for an Academy Award, and the psychology of torture.

"Taxi to the Dark Side" highlights U.S. torture tactics in the war on terror. For more information on the film, you can visit the film's website.

Plum hosts Jeb Berrier and Ramona Bruland try to stump each other with Oscar Trivia.

We have skate skis, alpine skis, telemark skis, nordic skis, snowboards, monoboards, and more. Ever wonder how it all began?

Thanks to a new documentary from Culture Films, "Legacy: The History of Skiing," what was merely a means of transportation has now become our favorite pasttime. 

From wooden Norwegian skis to Austria to the Americas, this sport has quite a history. Thankfully we no longer brake with a stick between our legs.

If you've watched a few ski or snowboard films, you've probably heard hip hop artists Swollen Members in the background. Plum caught up with lead singer/rapper Prevail (Kiley Hendriks) when the group's tour passed through Telluride last December.

Plum host Jeb Berrier interviews Laura Linney, star of the film The Savages.  Laura talks about her Oscar nomination, working with actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and her latest movie.

Every year, a slew of new indie films hits one of the most famous film festivals in the world -- Sundance Film Festival. Thousands converged on Park City for a weekend. This year, Plum TV's Jeb Berrier went along to get the highlights.

Plum's Jeb Berrier interviews Peter Baxter, co-founder of Slamdance, a 14-year-old festival that runs alongside Sundance Film Festival.

Slamdance caters to first-time, truly independent filmmakers and exposes some major talent, as it did with "Peluca" in 2003, the basis for "Napoleon Dynamite." This year's highlights include documentary "Joyride" on rock musician Wesley Willis and Oren Peli's horror pic "Paranormal Activity."

Plum hooks up with pro skateboarder Tony Hawk at X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival, which coincides with Sundance Film Festival in Park City. Hawk's film, "The Secret Skate Park Tour," documents pro skateboarders showing up unannounced at skate parks around the country and skating with the locals, and is airing at the festival this year.

Filmmakers and brothers Charlie and Willie Ebersol talk about their new film "Don't Look Down" with Olympic medalist snowboarder Shaun White. The film follows White around the world from Japan, to the X Games, to Rwanda where the famed snowboarder and skateboarder taught Rwandan kids how to skate. MorningNoon&Night host Ramona Bruland gets the inside on this new film to show at Telluride Mountainfilm 2008.
