"Chronicles of an imperfect winter"

Forget pristine peaks and heroic descents under blue skies: here, powder snow sticks, storms rage, and laughter drowns out the wind. This is not your typical ski movie, but rather the wandering tale of two friends: Camille Armand, freeride icon, and Enzo Scotto, freestyle virtuoso, who set off on the roads of northern Norway. One on his snowboard, the other on his skis, both in pursuit of elusive snow, dodging gusts of wind and the established order. Accompanied by photographer Soren Rickards and filmmaker Alexis Vernis, they embark on a human-scale adventure: soaked bags, botched turns, endless jokes, and breathtaking landscapes. A film about friendship, the mountains as they are: beautiful, harsh, unpredictable; and those moments that cannot be planned, that are simply lived.

The Alpinist

Marc-André Leclerc, an exceptional climber, has made solo his religion and ice his homeland. When filmmaker Peter Mortimer begins his film, he places his camera at the base of a British Columbia cliff and waits patiently for the star climber to come down to answer his questions. Marc André, a little uncomfortable, prefers to return to the depths of the forest where he lives in a tent with his girlfriend Brette Harrington. In the heart of winter, Peter films vertiginous solos on fragile ice. He tries to make appointments with the climber who is never there and does not seem really concerned by this camera pointed at him "For me, it would not be a solo if there was someone else" . Marc-André is thus, the "pure light" of the mountaineers of his time, which marvel Barry Blanchard, Alex Honnold or Reinhold Messner, interviewed in the film. An event film for an extraordinary character.

Valley Uprising

In the shady campgrounds of Yosemite valley, climbers carved out a counterculture lifestyle of dumpster-diving and wild parties that clashed with the conservative values of the National Park Service. And up on the walls, generation after generation has pushed the limits of climbing, vying amongst each other for supremacy on Yosemite's cliffs. "Valley Uprising" is the riveting, unforgettable tale of this bold rock climbing tradition in Yosemite National Park: half a century of struggle against the laws of gravity -- and the laws of the land.
