Absinthe Films releases Optimistic


In the first winter to show the undeniable effects of global warming, Absinthe Films explores the effects of a changing planet. For those who live to snowboard, these changes can be perceived as impossible challenges or creative opportunities. Reminding us that the potential for fun is always at hand, Absinthe follows eighteen individuals through their interpretation of this winter and forges an unforgettable snowboard film. Optimistic?

Our Review:

Last winter good snow was hard to find, so fitting that the title of this years Absinthe movie is Optimistic, as it seems they had no trouble finding the best snow around the globe. The opening section sets the scene well with some rather unsubtle references to global warming, and the video continues to show how the crew made the most of winter, riding whatever terrain iwas available at any given time, be it fresh tracks in Alaska, a rail in California, or a roadside in Switzerland.

Romain de Marchi missed out on a video part last season so it is good to see he is back and strong as ever with a blinding part shared with Danny Davis. Gigi Ruf also has an amazing section with plenty of innovative tricks on strange obstacles as always. The Absinthe crew is expanding every year, and now includes plenty of top yanks along with all the original Euro riders. Kurt Wastell and MFM both have wicked sections also.
