STOKE (Dedicated to Henry Schreiber)
Dir. Timm Schröder
25' • Germany • 2020
STOKE is a movie about three Freeriders: Timm a 22 year old snowboarder and filmmaker who lost his best friend in a motorcycle accident, Manu: a Freeride professional who injured herself before the competition season on the Freeride World Tour and Alex, a dutch skier: who had to stop his life as a ski-bum living in a yellow caravan in the alps when covid-19 started. We are shown deep insights about each characters way of dealing with their recent losses, fears and risks, as they emerge into crazy group-powder-descents witnessing what they would later call the "time of their lifes".

Guilhem and Guillaume, two adventurers, wanted to meet the different communities in the Archipelago by ski-crossing from island to island in this world of bad ice. What will they learn from the locals, who are masters in coping with this ever-changing reality?

Following Lines
(Un Chemin à Tracer)
Dir. Francois Leger-Savard
60' • Canada • 2020
Seeking a deeper encounter with the territory of the Inuit, six paddlers plan to make the first recorded descent of a little-known river in northern Quebec. This mapping expedition, beset by adverse weather conditions and other unforeseeable situations, is also, for the filmmaker, a reminder of his ancestry. What we have come to think of as an “adventure” was here, for thousands of years, simply a way of life. While much has been forgotten, a tradition survives in the life and language of the Inuit; their knowledge of the physical world and of the seasons guides the team in its journey. Set against an imposing background of snow, tundra and white-water rapids, the documentary is a call to go beyond: out onto the land, and also inward into ourselves.
