A stunning short film by the Simply. Recreation Club exploring the beauty in the fleeting moments of joy we chase. From the perspective of an outsider, the dedication skiers put into their craft, for seemingly such ephemeral moments, can be difficult to understand. That is of course unless they can understand joy in its purest form.

From Youtube:

inefficient joy _ is an experimental short ski film exploring the paradox of dedicating so much time and energy to something as fleeting as the moments we all chase throughout the winter. In doing so, it reflects on why we do what we do revealing the inexplicable joy that skiing brings.
