Art Meets Adventure
Story
Blending techniques from the disparate worlds of mountaineering and acrobatics, Sasha Galitzki performs gravity-defying routines in subzero temperatures, all without being ‘tied in’. Her aerial adventures require immense physicality, sound risk-assessment, and unwavering confidence much like free soloing—only with flips, spins, and occasional splits.
Wild Aerial is a short documentary film that follows Sasha to dramatic ice-bound locations in the Canadian Rockies, where she overcomes extreme cold and dizzying heights to perform aerial, connect with nature, and draw attention to the beauty and fragility of these rapidly changing icescapes.
Themes
Wild Aerial features jaw-dropping footage never-before-seen in adventure documentaries, while telling the story of a a woman uniquely inspired and equipped to perform in wintry mountainscapes.
As Sasha turns 40 and continues pushing her limits as an athlete-meets-artist, she inspires us to explore new ways to move through, and connect with, our environment.
This is a film about pursuing creative passions, nurturing a personal connection with nature, and blazing a trail off the beaten path—sequins optional.
