Film lineup -
The Middle Way (bike-packing, trail running, Colorado)
On July 26, Joe Grant set off from his home in Gold Hill, Colorado to attempt to summit all 57 of Colorado's 14000ft summits. Self-powered and self-supported Joe took just over 31 days to bike and run to all the summits, ascending over 100000ft during the runs and cycling over 1400 miles.
The self-imposed parameters of Joe’s trip were simple and clear-cut and unlike life, there were no grey areas. This is, and always has been, the appeal of outdoor endeavors and adventures; the defined simplicity, amidst the chaotic rush of daily life.
Big World (Stand up paddle board journey, father-son, Nepal)
As parents, how do we teach our kids that there is a world beyond social media, standardized tests and soccer practice? Join Eddie Bauer athlete David Morton and his seven-year-old son Thorne on a week-long SUP journey down the Karnali and Bheri Rivers in Western Nepal. “There’s a basic paradox to parenting,” says David. “You have to keep your kids safe, but you have to teach them to take risks and follow curiosity. Life is undeniably richer with a little bit of daring.”
Derrick Pottle, Keeper of the Flame (inuit culture, climate change)
"Derrick Pottle, Keeper of the Flame" looks at the cultural and emotional impact of climate change on remote Inuit communities through the eyes of Derrick Pottle, a respected elder of the Nunatsiavut Inuit Community in Labrador. Filming took place in Labrador, Nunavut and Greenland.
Liv Along the Way (mountaineering, Alps)
In March 2017, former World Champion sport climber Liv Sansoz, set out to climb all 82 4000m peaks in the European Alps in a single year. As she’s learned several times throughout her life, things don’t always go as planned.
Anba, in the Depths of Haiti (caving, ’spelunking’, Haiti)
Olivier Testa explores the caves of Haiti since 2009, leading expeditions, trainings, and revealing new caves across the country. Following the cavernal rovings of the speleologist, Baraka Flims sketches a colourful and rythmic portrait of the Pearl of the Antilles.
