Behind the Rockies
A solitary paraglider follows the spine of the Rocky Mountains, from the Mexican border all the way to the heart of Canada, moving forward only with the wind beneath his wing or the slow rhythm of his steps, over more than three thousand kilometers. From the southern deserts where snakes glide through the dust to the vast Canadian forests watched over by bears, his journey gradually transforms into an inner quest for the true meaning of adventure.

The Road We Share
“The Road We Share” follows the longest cycling journey of Drago and Viktor — a father and son facing the merciless wilderness and heat of the Gorafe Desert during Badlands, one of Europe’s toughest gravel and ultra cycling races. As they ride non-stop for days across the course, the challenge becomes not only a battle against the terrain, the heat, and their own limits, but also a journey into the bond between them.

The Illusion of Duality
The Illusion of Duality explores the fragile balance that exists within freeskiing. Blending freeride and freestyle, the film follows two skiers moving through moments where instinct and awareness seem perfectly aligned. Between commitment and lucidity, control and surrender, each line becomes a search for the fleeting space where opposing forces coexist.
