Free Rider
Duration: 30 minutes (VOSTFR)
Director: Jérôme Tanon
With : Samuel Anthamatten and Victor Delerue
After "Zabardast", director Jérôme Tanon is back with a film that once again blends humor, magnificent landscapes, intimate questioning, poetry and big, committed descents! We're off to Alaska, the land of "spines", with its bewitching, technical shoulders of snow, in the company of Victor Delerue (double Freeride world champion) and Sam Anthamatten, well known to Montagne en Scène regulars. A fun, immersive film that will leave you craving the great outdoors and powder!
The Wanderers of Mount Logan
Duration: 40 minutes (VOFR)
Director : Mathieu Rivoire
With : Hélias Millerioux, Thomas Delfino, Alex Marchesseau and Grégory Douillard
At 5959m, Mont-Logan is the 2nd highest peak in North America, and certainly one of the wildest mountains in the world. To reach it, Hélias Millerioux, Alex Marchesseau, Thomas Delfino and Gregory Douillard didn't choose the easy option. The approach is on foot and skis, in total autonomy, with 80kg per person to lug across hundreds of kilometers of moraines and tormented glaciers! Then it's on to the East Ridge, with its 4,000-metre vertical drop that has never been skied before, before a raft trip back to the ocean... Total adventure, with friends, in a hostile but grandiose natural setting... Magical!
From the shadow to the light
Duration: 70 minutes (VOFR)
Director: Sébastien Montaz Rosset
With : Charles Dubouloz
North face of the Grandes Jorasses, January 2022. Charles Dubouloz embarks on a 6-day vertical odyssey with a smile on his face. A mountain guide and family man, he is nevertheless tackling Rolling Stones, one of the toughest routes in the Mont-Blanc massif, solo and in winter. The adventure of a lifetime, extreme and intimate, magnificently recounted by director Sébastien Montaz-Rosset, who was on hand to follow Charles. "De l'ombre à la lumière", a rock'n'roll journey that takes us through one of the most beautiful ascents of recent decades!
Nina and Katie in Yosemite
Length: 16 minutes (VOSTFR)

The result of a 100% women's project, from production to direction to protagonists, this film takes us to Yosemite, a paradise for crack climbing in oceans of granite...
Nina Williams, a specialist in committed bouldering where falling is forbidden, ropes up with Katie Lambert, a regular on long-distance trips to Yosemite. An explosive duo tackling one of the valley's most difficult routes!
