    Un ocean de sommets Vod

    Un ocean de sommets

    Stefan Girres (2018)

    Alexandre and Valentin are brothers. One is passionate about the sea, the other about mountains. They didn’t really connect when they grew up, that’s life… But they won’t let life choose their path so when they decided it was time to get to know each other, they didn’t go to the restaurant; they bought a boat, repaired it and planned a four month long trip from France to Greenland, passing by Norway and Iceland to ski and climb mountains. With two other team-members, an incredible journey began as they learned to navigate their sailing ship from one storm to another, through icebergs along gigantic cliffs.

    Le Doigt de Dieu Vod

    Le Doigt de Dieu

    Yvan Estienne (2017)

    Through the confidences of Michel Serres, renowned philosopher and unknown mountain climber, and also stories of climbers and mountaineers, we enter to a vertical world, unconventional, where the hostility of the high altitude and the passion of men coexist. What is the sense of mountaineering? Between philosophy, action, and self-discovery, the documentary takes us very far, to the very heart of mountaineering and asks the question that every climber will ask himself one day: Why climbing up there? This film proposes to answer these questions while following two ropes on an emblematic summit of the Alps, the Meije (3984 m) in the heart of the Ecrins National Park.

    Passion d'ouverture

    Yannick Boissenot (2014)

    Like all good Genevans, Michel Piola discovered rock climbing at the Salève, a huge cliff outside Geneva that has been a training ground for a number of leading mountaineers. After 30 years of route-setting, he is without doubt one of the great new routers and has left a lasting impression on the world of climbing. The choice and style of his lines has made his routes extremely popular among large numbers of climbers. This film is both a biography of Michel Piola and a chance to see him at work equipping routes on crags and in the mountains. The film journeys to Patagonia, Greenland and Pakistan, exploring his life and motivation, as well as following him on current route-setting projects in the Alps and Turkey.
