Daydreams
It’s the 50th anniversary of Daydreams! The night includes a 70s-themed costume event with a special celebrity judge, original posters signed by director Craig Beck, and live music by David Beck of Mountain Folk. This screening is a benefit for the Tahoe Backcountry Alliance and will feature a 70 minute Q&A afterwards.
“We all have our own Daydreams… But how many of us are able to transcend our dreams and make them a reality?” So begins the opening of the classic ski film Daydreams, shot and edited during the winters of 1974 and 75 by North Shore resident Craig Beck. Whether it’s skiing the steepest of the steep, hang-gliding on the California coast, carving rowdy lines in the Canadian Bugaboos, or watching Craig’s younger brother, Greg, uncork a then record 128 feet of air off Squaw Valley’s Palisades, Daydreams launders the soul and piques the psyche into an almost paranormal validation of freedom. Daydreams has been a cult classic for decades and we look forward to sharing it with folks who have never seen it and those that have taken it in a dozen times.
