Awhile back there was a film in the making to be titled "Cloudstreet".
Never got off the ground but some nice preliminary filming was tested
and placed on the internet.
I guess they could not get enough funding, the plan was to run the
film on PBS station.

Just a vote for my favorite video - Klaus Ohlmann's "Argentina,
Gliding in the 5th Dimension".

While it doesn't have the "beautiful people" aspects, it does have
spectacular scenery expertly videographed and shows the gritty details
of extreme long distance soaring in sometimes primitive conditions.
Circling the peaks of active volcanoes and one brief shot circling the
peak of Aconcagua leaves no doubt about the conquest of the Andes by
glider.

Telling - and showing - what gliders are capable of seems to be the
"sizzle" that sells the sport. People who assume gliding is just
sleigh rides are stunned by this video.
