Doors at 6:30, Screening starts at 7:00pm
Join us in person for an exciting evening featuring two stunning short films and a lively panel discussion + audience Q&A.
Art is a way to express or experience things that you don’t have words for.
Aerial artist Sasha Galitzki invites you to an intimate evening of storytelling. Through films and discussion, we will explore what happens when art meets adventure and environmental advocacy.
Sasha Galitzki is a pioneer of glacier aerial acrobatics. In 2024, Sasha set out to complete the most ambitious performance she’d ever attempted outdoors. Her journey is documented in Wild Aerial, a short film that draws attention to the beauty and fragility of Canada’s rapidly changing mountain landscapes.
While editing Wild Aerial in July 2024, the unthinkable happened. Sasha lost her home in the Jasper wildfire. In the wake of this loss, an unexpected story unfolded.
Set in the year following the fire, Embers follows Sasha as she moves to Revelstoke and confronts the realities of a warming world. Speaking with wildfire and climate experts, she seeks to understand the heartbreaking changes affecting the mountains she loves. Gradually returning to her aerial practice, she performs over the ashes of her home and amidst the whirling winds of melting glaciers—inviting us on an intimate journey to find hope out of darkness.
After the films, listen to a live panel discussion with Sasha Galitzki and local fire and environmental experts.
The evening will culminate in a community conversation—audience members will be invited to ask questions, share stories, and engage in a conversation about art, adventure, activism, grief, hope, and everything in between.

It’s going to be a magical evening, and we hope to see you there!
