He’s 91. This Is His 67th Production.
Warren Miller is back. The patriarch of outdoor adventure films is 91 and at the beginning of the trailer for the 2016-17 film Here, There And Everywhere, he asks, “What do people really get out of skiing?”
His answer? “It satisfies our innermost urges…for freedom.” He mentions being in square boxes, “This building…is square. The walls are vertical.” Then he delivers a prototypical Warren Miller punch line: “Out there nothing is straight. It’s all crooked.”
And suddenly we’re transformed to the magnificent Warren Miller landscape we’ve come to know and to anticipate over the years: blue skies, bottomless powder, and endless runs.
Miller’s first film was presented 67 years ago. Since then, the genre he created has psyched and pumped snow sports enthusiasts for the coming season. Here, There And Everywhere features elite athletes descending exotic terrain in Alaska, Montana, Greenland, and Switzerland. Other locations might be more familiar to viewers, including Deer Valley, where the film pays tribute to the late Stein Eriksen. Warren, himself, participates in the narrative—a return to his origins when every Warren Miller film presentation featured him in person.
I haven’t screened the film yet, but I know it will be terrific. How could it not? It’s Warren Miller, and it’s the beginning of another ski season!
The website for Here, There & Everywhere has trailer, film excerpts, and a full schedule of where the film will play.
