#### ALWAYS ALIVE
Length : 32 minutes
Director : Davina Montaz-Rosset
Original version#### For every person living in Chamonix, Mont-Blanc is an irresistible magnet. Known for her many achievements in trail-running, Hillary Gerardi is up for a high-altitude challenge: attempting a round-trip speed record on this iconic summit, starting from Chamonix’s Church. To achieve her goal, she will need to combine intense preparation with an in-depth knowledge of the terrain, which is constantly evolving due to climate change. A film that successfully blends environmental awareness and performance, delivering a burst of joy and emotion!
#### PAINTING THE MOUNTAINS
Length : 46 minutes
Director : Pierre Cadot
Original version#### Experience an amazing challenge : skiing down tiny patches of snow perched amongst the huge granite walls overlooking El Chaltèn. Guided by local photographer Matthew Tufts, Aurélien Lardy, Vivian Bruchez and Jules Socié only have one goal in mind: to push the limits of gravity to open news lines on these Patagonian giants. Combining commitment, friendships, and quite a few mates, this film will blow your mind. A kind of Free Solo on skis that you won’t forget anytime soon!
#### OF A LIFETIME
Length : 44 minutes
Director : Jérôme Tanon
Original version#### Within the De le Rue family, passion for freeriding is inherited from generation to generation. Almost turning 18 years old, the young Mila accompanied by her father Xavier and her uncle Victor (both three times freeride world champions) launches into her first expedition, to the magical land of Antarctica! After a long and stormy crossing in a sailboat, the crew reached the pure white continent, with its mountains of ice, its whales, its pinguins… If Xavier and Victor, more familiar with risk management, joyfully open amazing news lines, Mila will have to challenge her fears to fully embrace the adventure. A journey full of complicity, strengthening the trust between a dad and his daughter, and a skier to herself.
#### GROUND UP
Length : 36 minutes
Director : Chris Alstrin
Original version#### Let’s go for 8 days hanging in the middle of the mythical walls of Yosemite with Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn. Their goal : climbing Pineapple Express, a variation of El Niño’s route on El Capitan, starting from the bottom. This intense film allows us to feel the difficulty and the efforts needed to succeed in freeing such an extreme big wall. A mix of determination, perseverance, and a dazzling complicity give Amity and Brent the opportunity to surpass themselves both physically and mentally. An ode to climbing led by a fantastic duo!

Here is the video call link https://meet.google.com/irp-rnyi-fgb - Galapagos Islands Adventure--Untouched Nature in all its Splendor! Small GroupDulles International Airport, Dulles, VA
It's a Meetup . . . in the Galápagos!!
This Meetup Event is for the nature lovers, for the curious explorers and the adventurers who want to experience nature in all its splendor & diversity.
The Galápagos Islands are a volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, considered one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife-viewing. It's a place where lizards swim, birds walk, and humans — for once — don't take center stage. In 1835 a 26-year-old Charles Darwin introduced the Galápagos Islands to the world with his theory of evolution.
As amazing as you think the Galápagos Islands would be, they exceed all expectations of our group in 2023! That sea lion above in our group photo is not a prop! It was very real, ready to play and pose for a picture. You can see sea lions, giant lizards and many other exotic and friendly creatures, waddling on the streets, playing in the sand or just chilling (sun bathing) on a bench!
We will explore and experience:
- The famous Galapagos penguin and blue footed boobies. Swim with sea turtles and sea lions.
- Tortuga Bay Beach for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or surfing with unique marine life.
- Get close and personal with the giant tortoises roaming in their natural habitat
