The Complete Line-up of this years films:

Revolution One – takes a look into rapidly emerging sport of off-road unicycling.
Follow world champion unicyclists as they display riding that has blown the minds of viewers worldwide.

Deep/Shinsetsu – “Shinsetsu” means deep powder in Japanese. This short film expresses a typical day in the mountains in Japan.

Africa Revolutions Tour – Journey with this group of friends on an ambitious and dangerous kayaking expedition in eastern Africa.

Pick-up sticks – Take an aerial plunge off the edge of an Arctic coastal headland into the abyss of a seabird colony. A visual and metaphorical cliffhanger for our times!

First Ascent: Alone on the Wall – Follow 24-year-old Alex Honnold on his first free-solo of the “Regular Northwest Face” route on Yosemite’s Half Dome.

MedeoZ - Filmed in the Mont Blanc range, this short features six different mountain sports: climbing, skiing, snowboarding, speed riding, paragliding and BASE jumping.
A photographer wants to take one shot showing all the sports, instead of taking separate photos of each sport. It takes a lot of work!

Shining Spirit – Filmed in Canada, India and Tibet, “Shining Spirit” documents a recording project that is a testament to the power of music, the resilience of the Tibetan culture, and the enduring bond of a family separated by politics and geography.

Hunlen – What happens if you show up to climb one of the biggest frozen waterfalls in Canada — but it isn’t completely frozen? Will Gadd and EJ Plimley battle to do the first ascent of B.C.’s remote Hunlen Falls. Falling ice, crashing water, fear, big fun!

Kranked: Revolve – The coolest human-powered adrenaline tool ever invented — the mountain bike? “Revolve” blasts in cinematic glory from the French Alps to the lush coast of B.C., incorporating dirt jump, trail, freeride, slopestyle and downhill.

The Ultimate Skiing Showdown – The final sprint showdown between the fastest skiers on Earth in juxtaposition with a stunt performer showing some of the sickest moves on Nordic skis. A lot of fun!
