Synopsis

Blending techniques from the disparate worlds of mountaineering and acrobatics, artist and trailblazer Sasha Galitzki performs gravity-defying aerial silks routines in subzero temperatures, all without being ‘tied in’.

WILD AERIAL follows Galitzki to remote icescapes to document the most ambitious routine she has ever performed outdoors. The film shares Sasha’s journey of blending her mountaineering experience with aerial pursuits to pioneer a new genre of aerial silks. It documents Sasha’s preparation and motivations while introducing viewers to the risks and mitigation processes that she navigates with her trusted partner Marcus Waring, an ACMG Guide and certified Paramedic with the perfect background to support her artistic ambitions.

Galitzki overcomes extreme cold and dizzying heights, hoping that her performance will draw attention to the beauty and fragility of ice in our warming world.
