Film Programme

Kai Jones' Falling into Place (45mins)

Kai Jones was a teenage ski sensation. He turned professional aged 12, and swiftly rose to the top of freeskiing with viral videos that earned him four consecutive Skier of the Year nominations. But in 2023, Kai suffered a near-fatal injury in the Wyoming backcountry. Falling into Place offers an unfiltered look into Kai's journey as he re-examines his dreams and goals, and forges a new path for his future.

A Baffin Vacation: Love On Ice (26mins)

Adventurers Erik and Sarah set off on a 69-day kite-skiing expedition along the remote coast of Baffin Island, deep in the Arctic Circle. From big wall climbing and glacier crossing to white-water kayaking in untouched rivers, this is a story of love, endurance and discovery in one of the planet's most formidable environments.

Cold Calls (Japan) (6mins)

Cold Calls is not your average ski movie. Pieced together through conversations, memories, and spontaneous adventures, it celebrates the unpredictable nature of the sport, combining humour with intense action. Buckle up to join professional freeride skier Emma Patterson as she shreds deep powder (and conveyor belt sushi) in Japan.

George

Jacob Tonkin is a fell-runner from the Lake District, who have completed several challenging endurance events, including the Bob Graham Round and the Frog Graham Round. But when faced with debilitating illness, it's his dog George that helps him through this difficult time. A powerful tale of healing, unconditional lve, and the beautiful Lake District fells.

Flow Vision (8mins)

For Ambroise Trauet, downhill skateboarding isn't just about speed or technical skill. It's about chasing a feeling that exists at the very edge of possibility, where fear dissolves and instinct takes over. Join Ambroise as he takes on the most challenging road in Europe, with stunning 'follow car' shots and raw, high-speed footage.

The Hive Architect (12mins)

There is a widely held theory that the British honey bee couldn't exist without being domesticated by bee keepers. But for conservationists like Matt Somerville, that theory is ludicrous. Matt spends his winters creating log hives, before driving around all of England in the summer, putting them up as non-intervention habitats for wild bees. A heartwarming short film about a woodworker and his passion for free living bees.
