Films line up:

## K2: Chasing Shadows

## Directors: David Arnaud and Hugo ClouzeauLength: 66 min

Benjamin Védrines, one of the world’s best alpinists, dreams of taking on the “savage mountain” (8611m, the second-highest peak in the world). But what does K2 truly represent for this accomplished climber: the pursuit of a new record, the shadow of past failures, or a deeply personal trial? After a first attempt that ended in a serious accident, Benjamin returns with even greater determination to take on an audacious challenge: a one-day ascent of K2, without supplemental oxygen, followed by a descent with his paraglider. A gripping and thought-provoking film that explores the meaning of success and commitment in the realm of extreme altitude.

## Just a climber

## Director: Jérôme TanonLength: 26 min

Watching Solenne Piret climb is almost like witnessing magic. You wonder how she will get through, and then, with a fluid, effortless motion, she progresses up the wall. Born without a right hand, Solenne has always found her own path on the wall. A four-time world champion, she now takes on a new challenge: leading the legendary Grand Capucin—one of Mont Blanc’s most iconic spires—while placing her own traditional protections. But despite intense training, doubts linger: this time, did she aim too high?

## Better up there

## Director: Mathis DumasLength: 45 min

The mountains give us so much, yet they can take it all away in an instant. It’s this duality that Leo Slemett’s intimate and moving portrait, directed by Mathis Dumas, explores. From his childhood to the podiums of the Freeride World Tour, Leo’s life as a freeride skiing star might seem perfectly mapped out. But no matter how motivated and determined he is to chase his dreams, it is ultimately the challenges he faces that shape his life. A powerful lesson in resilience and perseverance, shared by this exceptional skiing talent.

## Zahir

## Director: Julien NadirasLength: 30 min

Join the powerhouse duo of Katherine Choong and Eline Le Menestrel as they take on one of the toughest big wall routes in the Swiss Alps: Zahir. The challenge is already sky-high (the route features several pitches graded 8a and 8b), they raise the bar even higher by committing to travel only with bikes. An ambitious project that these two climbers tackle with music in their ears and smiles on their faces. Inspiration for the upcoming generations!
