 Synopsis

This short documentary about skiing was directed for the NZ Tourist and Publicity Department by Sam Neill (who would shortly achieve fame as an actor). This was one of several documentaries directed by Neill while at the National Film Unit. Others subjects included the Red Mole theatre troupe and architect Ian Athfield. The skiers put on daring displays of their art, before skiing an active volcano. Locations include Mount Hutt, Queenstown and Tongariro National Park. The film was translated into French, Japanese, Italian, German and Spanish.
