Supermodels and adventure skiing featured in Weekend Film Series

WEDNESDAY, MAY 16: A documentary about the women whose images have defined our sense of beauty over the past 50 ears, and a sports documentary about some of the world’s most dramatic ski slopes are the subjects of Bermuda Doc’s Weekend Film Series.

The films are to be screened at the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute this Sunday.

About Face: Supermodels Then and Now will screen at 3pm and Warren Miller’s Like There’s No Tomorrow  will screen at 5:15pm.

Screened at the Sundance Film Festival in January, About Face reveals the story behind the magazine covers.

“The models are candid, charming, honest, and often very, very funny as they speak about their lives at the top, including the clubs, the drugs and celebrities, but also their careers in an industry built on, and by, their beauty,” said a release on the film.

Featuring Isabella Rosselini, Beverly Johnson, Marisa Berenson, Bethann Hardison, Cheryl Tiegs, China Machado, Carol Alt, Pat Cleveland, Christie Brinkley, Jerry Hall, and more, the models celebrate the gains of age and experience with enjoyment in this portrait.

Like There’s No Tomorrow is the 62nd annual adventure sports film produced by Warren Miller Entertainment. It has toured the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand – and will now screen in Bermuda for the first time.

The film features some of the world’s top skiers — including Chris Davenport, Julia Mancuso and Andy Mahre — touring the world’s most inspiring locales, including the legendary peaks of British Columbia’s Monashee
Range, the striking Himalayas of Gulmarg, India, the southern hemisphere’s highest peak in Portillo, Chile, and a spot closer to home, the rugged peaks of New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, plus many more.

Tickets are $15, can be purchased in the Oceans Gift Shop at the BUEI, or by calling 297-7314. Trailers of the films can be viewed at www.bermudadocs.com.
