Slamdance opens its 25th festival with a look at film pioneer and ski legend Warren Miller

Warren Miller made movies, and a lot of them. Once a year, from the 1950s until his retirement in 2004, he cranked out one movie a year — shooting, editing, narrating and self-distributing — that extolled the joys of skiing.

Miller, who died Jan. 24, 2018, at the age of 92, is the subject of the new documentary “Ski Bum: The Warren Miller Story.” The movie will premiere as the opening-night screening at the 25th Slamdance Film Festival in Park City — a fitting place to celebrate a do-it-yourself film pioneer.
