The Trashparty - :)

After the 2014 cult classic ‘Video Entertainment’, The Trashparty created hype in the alternative ski scene by teasing the prequel ‘:)’ to release the year after. However, the film remained elusive, giving rise to online rumors and speculation regarding its unreleased status. Now, nearly a decade overdue, the overly hyped movie with the cryptic title finally premiers. The smiley movie is a collection of footage captured through Norwegian woods, streets, and mountains, mixing video from the 2014/2015 season with shots captured sporadically since. With its characteristic low-fi production and trivial approach, ‘:)’ is a nostalgic throwback as much as a valid contribution to the contemporary ski scene - and arguably the lowest effort nine-year project in action sport history.
