The snowboarding documentary Our Kind of Chaos is rounding out the slate of Canadian features making their world premiere at the Whistler Film Festival (WFF), which revealed its full lineup on Thursday (Nov. 5).

The 2025 lineup is being touted as the most Canadian in the festival’s history, with Canadian films representing 67% features and more than 58% of shorts programmed, according to a news release.

Making its world bow in WFF’s Mountain Culture program, Our Kind of Chaos (pictured) is directed by Clayton Larsen and Ryan Stutt, and produced by Stutt through his Toronto-based King Network prodco.

The doc chronicles the stories of the reckless young men who redefined snowboarding in the 1990s through the notorious “Whiskey” DIY videos of incredibly risky, booze-fuelled slope stunts. The project was originally announced last year as part of the 2024-25 Telus Originals slate, under the working title Reckless Abandon.

Our Kind of Chaos joins the three previously announced Canadian features debuting at WFF, all of them documentaries. These include one of the festival’s opening night films, the Mountain Culture selection Forward, from director Nic Collar and producers Ryan Scott, Olli Dickerson and Tanner March, about a young skier and surfer who pursues his passions despite his cerebral palsy.

The other two world premieres, both screening in the World Documentary section, are Kate Green’s Menopause: Coming in Hot (Coming in Hot Productions), part of the 2025-26 Telus Originals slate; and Luke Gleeson’s Wədzįh Nəne’ | Caribou Country (Mesilinka Films), about the groups looking to protect and preserve the fragile wilderness of northern B.C.

In addition to the 10-film Borsos Competition for best Canadian feature, four other documentaries are representing Canada in this year’s WFF lineup: Shane Belcourt’s Ni-Naadamaadiz: Red Power Rising (Makwa Creative, Antica Productions), Alison Reid’s The Art of Adventure (Free Spirit Films), Marlene Rodgers’ The Rewilders (Storybox Movies) and Amalie Atkins’ Hot Docs award winner Agatha’s Almanac (Minema Cinema Productions).

The full lineup for this year’s WFF can be found on the fest’s website.

The 2025 Whistler Film Festival runs from Dec. 3 to 7.
