Verchinski said.

the year’s best paddling films. There are awards for different genres of 
paddling films, ranging from environmental films, or whitewater films or 
fishing films,” he said

“Most of them are only about 10 minutes long, or show little vignettes, 
some are a little bit longer.” Trailers for some of the films can be 
seen at www.reelpaddlingfilmfestival.com
