Countdown to the 5Points Film Festival

The lineup for Carbondale, Colorado's 5Point Film festival, only a few weeks off, features everything from skiing and BASE jumping to surfing and climbing. Ranging from three minutes to an hour – this year's 25 films showcase the best athletes and most incredible feats in action sports.

Yvon Chouinard, Aron Ralston, and Erik Weihenmeyer will all be in attendance to watch films from Alaska to Patagonia to Liberia, detailing athletes on the forefront of adventure.

The festival runs from Thursday May 8 through Saturday May 10. Best of all, it's a non-profit event, with proceeds going to national and local charities committed to defending the environment.
