Courma et Courmayeur
Courmayeur is a small Alpine town of 3,000 inhabitants at the foot of Mont Blanc. During winter, the arrival of thousands of tourists transforms it into “Courma,” changing its rhythms, spaces and everyday life. Through different ways of experiencing the same place — a young local working among tourists, a group of regular visitors from Milan, and a farming family that remains apart from the seasonal transformation — Courma et Courmayeur observes the coexistence of two identities within one town.

Alto
In spring 2026, skiers & filmmakers Cody Cirillo, Fer Ferrandez, Matthew Tufts, and Isaiah Branch-Boyle travelled to Bolivia, with their sights set on skiing new lines in the Cordillera Real's high, 6,000m peaks.

Alone in Antarctica
Kim Young-mi’s expedition marks the fourth solo inland crossing of Antarctica and the first by an Asian. For 70 days, she ate, slept, and walked in total isolation. Yet she says nothing is accomplished alone, crediting others’ prayers and encouragement with carrying her across 1,786 km. The film captures an expedition more than a decade in the making, and reflects on the courage to take a single step.

Mission wind and water
The film focuses on sailing and the participation of a Bulgarian boat in the Rhodes Cup regatta. The story goes beyond mere participation in a sailing race. It explores how such an endeavor can become a cause—welcoming people with absolutely no prior sailing experience aboard and showing how they fare in the conditions of a genuine sailing competition. Created by Ladislav Tsvetkov, a multimedia reporter at bTV.
