The Alaska Moving Image Preservation Association will host a fundraiser screening event on Sunday, Feb. 28 \u2014 the third day of the 2016 Anchorage Fur Rendezvous \u2014 in the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center auditorium. The program for the event will feature the Alaska premiere of \u201cIn Attla\u2019s Tracks,\u201d a new short film about Alaska Native sprint musher, George Attla, which includes some footage from AMIPA\u2019s vaults.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn Attla\u2019s Tracks\u201d follows 81-year-old Attla, who is recognized by many as the greatest sprint sled dog racer of the 20th century, as he trains and readies his grand nephew, Joe Bifelt, to compete in the world\u2019s largest dogsled sprint race. Yet, as the months pass, an unexpected development causes young Bifelt to re-evaluate what it means to be a champion. The film, which was nominated for an award by the International Documentary Association, was directed by Catharine Axley, who will be on hand to introduce the film, do some Q&A, and talk about Attla, a feature-length documentary about George Attla that she is currently working on.
