Movie selection
The goat of Hispar
A portrait of Piolet d'Or mountaineer Hélias Millerioux, told in fragments. His alpinism goes beyond the high peaks — he finds just as much meaning in the quiet drift of base camp life. Camcorder rolling, Hélias narrates the world he passes through with warmth and honesty: resolute in spirit, open in direction.

Touching Rocks
Tattooed hands gently glide over a rock face, probing it with the tips of the fingers. Three women, arms raised to a high boulder, appear to be in prayer. Hidden in a cave, two others stare at their bloody palms. Touching Rocks depicts bouldering as a pagan ritual.

Aosta Valley. Where Mountains Meet the Sky
The Aosta Valley, cradled in northwestern Italy along the borders of France and Switzerland, is the smallest and most secluded of all the country's regions. Its soul is carved into the mountains: Gran Paradiso, Mont Blanc, Monte Rosa, the Matterhorn. On the glaciers, across the high pastures, or beneath a sky ablaze with stars, the valley reveals a rare harmony between the grandeur of nature and the steadfast spirit of its people.

The Five Treasures of the Snows
In 1955, the world’s third highest mountain, Kangchenjunga, was climbed to within five metres of its summit by an expedition led by Charles Evans. They stopped just short in respect of local beliefs that a protective deity lived there, providing the mountain communities with good harvests and well-being.

The Patagonia of Asia
In the remote south-west of Kyrgyzstan lies a fascinating mountain world that is almost completely unknown – a rugged natural paradise that few Westerners have ever seen. Right on the Tajik border, between rugged peaks and lonely valleys, an adventure begins that is not for the faint-hearted. Access is strictly regulated, as political tensions often render the region inaccessible.

Affinità Elettive
In the chemistry of the 18th century, the table of Elective Affinities measured the forces with which substances react with one another. Like chemistry, climbing also has its own rules, and the forces that draw Andrea to a corner of the Dolomites are tied to his childhood as well as to the intrinsic value of human relationships.
