Secret

Adventures of the boys of a pioneer camp during a summer camping trip. A new leader, Artem, a geophysics student and hiker, came to the pioneer group. He led the pioneers on a hike, which they had been doing for three summers in a row, in places they had long known and explored. And then the four friends, Gena, Dima, Pasha and Oleg, decided to escape from the group and go hiking on their own, but not just for fun, but for the sake of a great discovery. They dreamed of discovering "state-important ore," which, according to Dima, must be somewhere in the vicinity of Sinoe Lake. Far away from Sinoe Lake, the paths of the squad and the four friends converged. The boys didn't find the ore, though - Dima made it all up - but they did find a legendary tank whose trail was lost during the German-Soviet war. The boys decided to search for the unknown heroes and find out their names. The hike continued.

Shakhaur 7116m, Face Nord

This film - without commentary and simply accompanied by local music - relates the 1969 ascent of the north face of Kohe Shakhawr, a Himalayan peak located on the border with Afghanistan, by mountaineers Benoît Mathieu, Jacques Soubis, René Thomas, Jean-Paul Paris, Isabelle Agresti, Henri Agresti, Roger Dietz, Jean-Pierre Frésafond, Paul Gendre, Claude Jager and Félix Magnin. As is often the case in Henri Agresti's films, there is an encounter with other peoples, other cultures, documented at length in the introduction. Then, after the interminable approach, the ascent begins: distribution of camps, successive assaults on the mountain, walking on steep scree and snowy slopes, climbing on icy walls... The arrival at the summit, without the aid of oxygen devices, seems to take place in slow motion: exhaustion mixes with the joy of the victorious mountaineers who will celebrate their success on their return to base camp on August 24, 1969.

Stopy na Sitne

Slovak partisans, bravely fighting against Nazi superiority, would never have succeeded to such an extent if they had not been supported by the villagers. Despite the threat of repression, it is the villagers who care for the wounded, hide them, and behave conscientiously. Although the film was made in the late 1960s, it fully adopts the patterns of partisan stories, perhaps the only thing it can be credited with is a more developed sense of authenticity in the story, characters, and setting.

Entre Ciel et Neige

René Collet, skier member of the French team, guides a friend from the summit of the Aiguille du Midi.

The two skiers stop regularly, here to observe climbers scaling the south face of the Aiguille, there to visit the Cosmiques Laboratory. They even take the time to rescue a skier stuck in a crevasse at the Séracs du Géant, before continuing their descent in style onto the Mer de Glace.
