More than a decade ago, Renaud met Gerry, a fly fisherman whose way of speaking about rivers felt closer to listening than instruction. Their encounters unfolded along moving water, where stories surfaced slowly, and nothing was ever fully explained. Fishing became less about the catch and more about learning how to read what remains unseen. This film is only available for Online viewing within Canada. Photo credit: Renaud Furlotte

Contours of Nature

Jacob Bélanger's story traces his path from growing up skiing in Quebec to building a life around skiing in British Columbia. Shaped by his early years in the streets and a unique approach to terrain, Jacob has developed a style and perspective that are distinctly his own. Photo credit: Braden Dean

Blank Patterns - A Portrait of Jacob Belanger

Wild East tells the story of Gabriel "Gabi" Paun, an environmentalist risking his life to expose how IKEA, Romania's largest private land owner, is working with local timber mafias to destroy the last of Romania's old growth forests. Forced to flee his home in Romania after multiple assassination attempts, Paun operates from a safe house abroad, continually risking his life to expose the truth. This film is only available for Online viewing within Canada.

Wild East

She Measures the Earth follows four women scientists in Canada as they balance earth science research, personal lives, artistic expression, and outdoor pursuits. By disrupting traditional narratives of who can be a scientist, the film underscores the vital role of diverse voices and backgrounds in confronting the climate crisis.

She Measures the Earth

A promising young geologist's life is transformed by a traumatic brain injury, forcing him to let go of the future he had planned. In search of purpose, he turns to the mountains, where hiking, skiing, river surfing, and paragliding become more than outdoor pursuits; they become a path toward healing and rediscovering who he is.
