Grit, gear, growth. This film is a portrait of Taylor Shaffer's coming-of-age as a photographer and filmmaker, following his creative trajectory as he shepherds Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell through a 4,023-kilometre expedition to attempt a single-day traverse of the Devils Thumb massif and finds his artistic voice amid risk, friendship, and a changing Alaskan landscape.

How to Make Paper

In 1802, the Survey of India Institute launched the "Great Trigonometrical Survey", a colossal undertaking aimed at precisely mapping British India. From August to November 2024, using these historical maps, Jérémy Bigé made his way on foot over 2,300 kilometres from Indian Kashmir to central Nepal. His goal: to connect the various Himalayan cultures in a single journey by following routes from the past. Photo credit: Jérémy Bigé

The Himalayas in my Heart

Follow a group of musicians as they trade concert stages for river currents, embarking on a multi-day journey down the Snake River with little more than their instruments and a shared willingness to connect. Along the way, music becomes a universal language breaking down barriers, sparking unexpected encounters, and revealing the generosity of strangers in wild places.
