Nowhere - Now Here
Alvi Pakarinen (2017)
Home is not a geographical term. Life does not revolve around the traditional family. What drives people is how, where and with whom they choose to spend their limited and valuable time. This film offers a glimpse of the life of Nalle Hukkataival, one of the world's top climbers, who leads a nomadic life in a modern world. A film by Alvi Pakarinen.- 2017

Will Stanhope - As a guide
Cameron Maier (2016)
Will Stanhope, a CMGA Guide, talks us through his philosophy on life 'as a guide' and showcases some of Tasmania’s best climbing. Last winter together with Sonnie Trotter and Cameron Maier, Will ventured down under to the fabled island. As he says... really an awesome place if you ever get a chance to visit; think high mountain crags, wave blasted sea cliffs, and some of the spindliest sea stacks on planet earth. Viewers beware: along with the climbing footage, there's a fair bit of head-scratching inside jokes in this video.- 2016

Live. Climb. Repeat.
Nelson Carayannis (2019)
Nalle Hukkatiaval is driven by first ascents. For him, the moment of actually climbing a boulder problem is secondary —a mere 10%— compared to the hard work of actually unearthing the line. But just because you have the vision of how a sequence should unfold doesn’t guarantee that you can do the moves. Is it too hard? Does it even go? This film documents Nalle’s battle with one of America’s hardest boulder problems: Sleepwalker V16 (8C+), in Black Velvet Canyon (Nevada), a project he could not complete in 2018 when he started it, and since then, only ascended by Jimmy Webb and Daniel Woods.- 2019

The Lappnor Project
Ville Kurru (2017)
In the Finnish forests was an unclimbed route called the Lappnor project. It was considered to be the hardest climbing route in the world and perhaps impossible for a human. Nalle Hukkataival, a strong Finnish climber took up the challenge. It required almost four years of total commitment and his efforts were followed by hundreds of thousands of climbers around the world. When Nalle finally succeeded, it blew away the whole climbing world like nothing before. The first 9A boulder was climbed! The documentary follows Nalle's journey from the very beginning, all the way to the first ascent almost half a decade later. It captures the incredible dedication that was needed to deal with all the variables and to take that last step to open the next level of climbing.- 2017

Kylmää Kiveä
Tommy Vänskä (2015)
In 1954 medical student Matti A. Jokinen did what he had done for several years: took the ferry to Sweden and proceeded to hitchhike his way around Europe. This time, however, he found himself in Zermatt, staring at the fabled Matterhorn. Soon enough he was standing on the summit, and Finnish climbing was born. From this event unfolds the story of climbing in a country rather ill-suited for the activity. Finland has no mountains, and the few crags and boulders are hidden in dense forests. Furthermore, everything is frozen almost half of the year. Despite the grueling circumstances climbing is today one of the fastest growing individual sports in the country, and professionals like Nalle Hukkataival are among the top climbers in the world.- 2015
