Dash, Age 92, Snowboarder follows a man who snowboards each day to challenge himself, his aging body, and the social assumptions connected to aging. Through breathtaking visuals, the film induces a nostalgic feeling that connects viewers with Dash, who conveys his personal philosophy and his thoughts on the art of snowboarding. The Bates Film Festival hopes this film will engage viewers around the concept of aging. (Written by Kira Yanagi, ’26)
