Film Programme

The Struggle, Directors: David Arnaud & Hugo Clouzeau, 85 min
Benjamin Védrines is considered the world's best mountaineer, a record-breaker from steep skiing to the Himalayas. But beneath the image of an unstoppable athlete lie deep vulnerabilities. Since his record-breaking ascent of K2 in 2024, he has been searching for meaning through a multi-day solo winter ascent of the legendary Drus Face in the Mont Blanc massif — a raw confrontation with himself and the granite.

Blandine, Director: Aurélien Delfosse, 65 min
At 27, Blandine L'Hirondel discovers she possesses extraordinary physical and mental abilities that carry her to the world's most iconic ultra-trail races: the Diagonale des Fous, the UTMB, and the World Championships. This candid portrait follows a woman balancing a career as a gynaecologist with the relentless demands of elite competition.

Kids, Director: Camille Armand, 11 min
Three young snowboarders — Camille Armand, Enzo Scotto, and Quentin Ladame — explore what it means to be a kid in the heart of the Japanese winter, where endless deep snow becomes the ultimate playground. A visually stunning short full of joy and freedom.
