Winter 2014. Nathalie Courtet, native of the Jura mountains and with no experience of the Far North, achieves
a childhood dream: ski across Lapland on her own and
in total autonomy, by pulling a 71-kilo pulka from Inaari
lake in Finland up to the North Cape in Norway down
to the mountains of Sarek in Sweden. 1.200 kilometers
of white roaming, unreal lights and shades as long as
crevasses. The film tells this story with the sober poetry
of Nathalie and portrays a common but not so ordinary
woman through her words and those of her loved ones.
Géraldine Fasnacht, a wingsuit pilot, has had a dream
since she has learnt how to fly, namely fly from the peak
of the Matterhorn. Technological and technical advances
allowed them, along with her friend Julien Meyer, to
achieve a world premiere on June 7, 2014. This film
shows the professionalism and seriousness of the way
these two friends tackled this challenge.

unusual trip.

goal: reach the hut of Kangerlussuasiaq where, 70 years
before, his father had wintered and shared, day after

In May 2010, two friends embark on an ocean crossing in
a rowing boat which they purchased second-hand. With
no experience of rowing, they sign up for an organised
race but soon learn that, due to the lack of entrants, they
won’t have a tailing boat. Ben Stenning and James Adair
decide not to give up and, despite their apprehensions,
embark on a 5.600km-journey from Australia to Mauritius. After 116 exhausting days at sea, 8 kilometers from
the finishing line, the duo is hit by a disaster.
This film tells the story of an unlikely encounter between
the last Sea Eagle in the wild and a bird of the same
species, but one that has been captive for years. With
the first one, free but alone, we share the majesty of
flight but also his harsh life. With the second, we see
his amazing learning process in flight and the freedom

It is the incredible story of Aryub Cinema which used to

but – miraculously – it hasn’t been destroyed by the civil
war and the Talibans. The movie theatre has been
rehabilitated for a film shoot and Naser, its projectionist,
hopes to turn it into a cultural center. Comedians Omid,
Roya, Qais and Reza help Naser with his project and

and Sarah Outen set off on a kayak trip from the west
of the Aleutians to paddle 2.500 kilometers before reaching solid ground. In the course of an expedition full of

beautiful environment.

The ancestral presence of the Inuits in Greenland is

North. Serious climate changes hit the island and entails a real imbalance on the environment. The ice melts
rapidly, the icepack disappears, jeopardizing tragically
all kinds of human and animal forms of life. What is the
future for the Inuits? What do they live off and how? How
do they regard their condition?
In 2014, mountaineer Marc Batard made friends with
president of the professional Football Ligue, Frédéric
Thiriez. Then the idea grew to connect two sports worlds
which had a priori nothing in common, namely mountaineering and football. In March-April 2015, eleven young
French citizens in social and professional integration
embarked on a collective adventure on top of Kala Patar
(5.800m). A great challenge at high altitude facing the
Nepalese giant: Everest.

For more than 20 years, Jean-Michel Corillion has been

the modern world. Today, he focuses on some minorities
who left their native land to come and live in the city.
That’s the case of the Tau’t Batu, a people native of the
isle of Palawan in the Philippines. Exploited, hopeless,
a Taut-t Batu family who has been exiled for two years
has decided to return to the forest to join - ‘‘at the end
of the world’’ - the cave where they were born, their last
haven!
After achieving several missions across Europe and
