120 Days, Convergence lead 2017 Fly Fishing Film Tour lineup

by Chad Shmukler - Friday, Jan 20th, 2017

If I'm being honest, the degree to which I tend to complement all things Felt Soul Media is becoming a little bit embarrassing. But the Colorado-based duo of Ben Knight and Travis Rummel have managed to do it again with a somewhat unexpected short film, titled 120 Days: Tarpon Season . Along with the latest from Conservation Hawks, Convergence , which we wrote about the other day, the two films serve to highlight another strong selection of films that F3T is showcasing on this year's tour.

Filmed in beautiful black and white, some of which has a near-infrared feel, 120 Days marks a sort of a return to its roots for Felt Soul Media, whose more recent work has trended somewhat more serious, including feature-length documentaries DamNation and Red Gold . Like early FSM films Running Down the Man and Eastern Rises , 120 Days is decidedly fishing focused and filled with all the slow-motion fish fighting shots you'd expect to find in any film that seeks to illustrate the thrill of the chase.

But, unlike many modern fishing shorts, which often feel more like Jason Bourne movies than films about stumbling after underwater creatures with a fly rod, 120 Days does what FSM always seems to do best: offer up the juice without devolving the work into a cheap, soulless, porn reel. In fact, by the time it's all said and done, despite the bevy of high-speed-capture tarpon hookup and jump footage that gets poured all over the screen, 120 Days unsurprisingly ends up being more about the people in the film than the fish or the fishing. The film focuses on tarpon-obsessed guide David Mangum who once went as far as buying (and crashing) a powered paraglider in order to search more effectively for tarpon. And while Magnum's intensity breathes through in the film—listening to Mangum coach an angler through casting to and (ultimately) failing to coax one of an incoming school of tarpon to take the fly is a moment of near perfection—some of the film's finer bits come the film's other two personalities, The Drake's Tom Bie and tarpon guide Brett Martina who, on more that one occasion, is likely to cause beer to go flying from the noses of raucously laughing viewers.

Convergence , is the best work yet from Conservation Hawks and Conservation Media, whose combined efforts previously produced the films Cold Waters and Chrome . Its beautiful cinematography and crisp editing showcase three different groups of anglers, including "world renowned fly fishing guide Hank Patterson" (out of character), illustrating why they seek out wild places with a fly rod in their hands and why they care so deeply about preserving them. Chances are, if you're not dead in the heart or in the head, Convergence will tug at your sense of wonder and rekindle your duty to wild places.

The films join a lineup that includes other fine shorts like At the End of a Rainbow which highlights the importance of salmon to Kamchatka's mind-blowing rainbow trout fisheries, Corazon which tells the story of another obsessed fisherman, Sandflea, a guide on the small Mexican island of Holbox, who is in need of a new heart thanks to a childhood bout of Scarlet fever, and many other films which make 2017's F3T lineup worth much more than the price of admission.

2017 fly fishing film tour makes a splash in big sky march 22.

GALLATIN RIVER TASK FORCE

The Fly Fishing Film Tour (F3T) returns to Big Sky on Wednesday, March 22 at Lone Peak Cinema, with showings at 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. The 2017 tour showcases nine fly-fishing films from around the world.

From pursuing giant predatory fish in Siberia that have never been caught on a fly, to scouting tarpon by paraglider in Florida, to pursuing tarpon and permit with a legendary Mexican angler, the 2017 short films promise to take viewers on a journey from one corner of the globe to the other. Other filming locations include Idaho, Kamchatka, Alaska and our own backyard.

Two films stand out for showcasing the accomplishments of women in a male-dominated industry. “Odd Man Out” highlights the exploits of Alaska-born, Montana-transplant Camille Egdorf, star of “Providence,” as she carves her niche in the fly-fishing world. In “Old Friends New Fish,” winner of the Trout Unlimited Women in Fly Fishing Film Grant, three women celebrate 20 years of friendship on Montana rivers.

In addition to showcasing the best fly-fishing films, the F3T continues to partner with local fly shops and conservation organizations across the country. The 2016 tour raised more than $300,000 to support education and conservation projects that enhance the sport of fly fishing.

The Big Sky premier of the 2017 Fly Fishing Film Tour on March 22 is free, however proceeds from the event will support the conservation work of the Gallatin River Task Force.
