The programme of the selection:

1. NO WAY (Directed by Jean-Baptiste CHANDELIER) – France, 4 min.
Jean-Baptiste Chandelier has done it again! One of today’s most outstanding paragliders has taken not only the sport to a whole new level, but also filmmaking. The daredevil of the most extreme form of aerial sports can fly as close to the ground as no one else. The 35-year-old French athlete aims to show the viewer that sport can be art.

2. THE BEST SKIER YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF (Directed by Marcus AHLSTRÖM) – France, 7 min
A glimpse into the everyday life of a professional skier! Adrien Grabinski made the Canadian national team at a young age, and after a highly successful skiing career, he found his new calling in a remote corner of British Columbia. The mountains, virgin snow, long runs and local ski community captivated him. Motivating portrait film with spectacular downhill skiing. Marcus Ahlström, a freelance filmmaker from the north of Sweden, is a true mountain specialist.

3. TWO POINT FOUR (Directed by Natasha BROOKS) – UK, 20 min
Not a typical family holiday, but not a typical family either. British climber Leo Houlding is one of the world’s best. An alpinist and adventurer, he and his wife Jess and their two children, 9-year-old Freya and 5-year-old Jackson, climb a 600-metre rock face on Norway’s iconic mountain peak.

4. DAUGHTER OF THE SEA (Directed by Nicole GORMLEY, Nancy KWON) – USA, 18 min.
Jaeyoun Kim, from Mara Island in South Korea, moves to Seoul to try to make it in the big city. But she soon suffers from depression and returns to her homeland, where for generations women have been free-diving to collect seafood from the ocean floor for a living. Accompanied by stunning underwater footage, directors Nicole Gormley and Nancy Kwon tell Kim’s story of returning home, nature’s call and how to find ourselves again.

5. ETERNAL FLAME (Directed by Nicolas BOSSARD) – Switzerland, 26 min
A spectacular film that takes us on a crazy journey into the depths of the Pakistani Himalayas with two brilliant French mountaineers who don’t take themselves too seriously. After climbing the 6,200-metre summit of Pakistan’s Nameless Tower, Eric Jamet and Antoine Pecher base jump to complete the achievement. Following in the footsteps of the great pioneers of the 1990s, the two friends offer the viewer an adventure that has everything a film like this needs: beauty, power, excitement and fear. Eternal Flame won Best Mountain Sports Film at BANFF 2023.

6. TO BE FRANK (Directed by Anna WILDER BURNS) – USA, 11 min
The film stars 73-year-old Frank Paine, a South Bay icon and humble local legend from Southern California whose life is all about surfing. His flamboyant mustache and unconventional personality are what most people notice, but the layers of Frank’s wit reveal a depth that may answer some of the questions surfers are constantly asking themselves.
