WHAT MATTERS

A record to be beaten for more than 10 years, a mythical crossing that follows the backbone of the Island of Beauty ... Perfect ingredients to make the discreet icon of the trail, Anne-Lise Rousset who sets out on June 13, 2022 to conquer the record of the GR20 ... less than a year after giving birth and without having yet exceeded the 100 km race! The film reveals with finesse the beginnings of this incredible challenge for Anne-Lise, accompanied on this feat by her husband but also all her entourage. An ode to the beauty of the landscape and the pure and deep motivation of this woman who always keeps her generous smile.

Duration: 37 minutes
Director: Timothée Ranger and Etienne Valentin
With : Anne-Lise Rousset

EDGE OF REASON

While Benjamin Védrines continues to enter the highest level of mountaineering with his recent feat in the Jorasses, this film relates his first trip to 8,000 m on Broad Peak in Pakistan. An extraordinary physical challenge in which the mountaineer once again shows himself to be a rocket scientist with a rapid ascent in one day, and a descent by paraglider at the end. A meticulously prepared record that was close to the athlete's heart, the culmination of several years of preparation for this guide from the Hautes-Alpes.

Duration: 45 minutes
Director : Jérémie Chenal
With : Benjamin Védrines and Nicolas Jean

LUMDO KOLOLA

In 2018, Jean-Yves Fredriksen crosses the Himalayas by paraglider. During one of his stopovers, he discovered a house housing four children living alone in the middle of the Nepalese jungle. Back in France, he was touched by this encounter and launched a collective effort to support these children. Three years later, he set out again to find them, accompanied by Nicolas Alliot. A quest full of pitfalls in the heart of the monsoon! 

Duration: 38 minutes
Director: Nicolas Alliot and Jean-Yves Fredriksen
With : Jean-Yves Fredriksen (Blutch) and Nicolas Alliot

CAP SUR EL CAP

One thing leading to another, he set up a project consisting in going to Mexico by boat from Europe with a group of climbers with more or less experience in navigation...
