The ATH Documentary

The ATH Documentary is a documentary about Athens from the skaters’ point of view, who are an integral part of this city, from the creator Kostas Mandilas. A documentary, that is real as it is artistic, it records the modern skating community and culture of Athens, a city that has lived through both good and bad times. A film “dedicated to the city we love, the city we breathe and skate in”.

ProjectDETOUR is a short film series about three trips to three destinations. We've been hiking waist deep powder in the Alps, we high fived sheep farmers in Greece and rode our motorbikes through the state of California. Right now I can not think of a better way to spend a winter season. Definitely one for the books! Stay tuned for the short film series dropping Fall 2015

Ultrarunners Krissy Moehl, Jeff Browning and Luke Nelson run 106 miles through the newly opened Patagonia Park in Chile, to celebrate and highlight Conservacion Patagonica’s efforts to re-wild and protect this vast landscape. A short film by Rios Libres and Patagonia, Inc.

The Fitz Roy Traverse is one of the most sought

after achievements in modern alpinism: a gnarly journey across seven jagged

summits and 13,000 vertical feet of climbing. Who knew it could be so much

fun? Join Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold on the inspiring - and at times hilarious - quest that earned the Piolet d'Or.

Born and raised at Punta de Lobos, Ramón Navarro found his passion riding the biggest waves on the planet. But his accomplishments in giant surf are just one part of a bigger vision to protect the culture and environment of the Chilean coast.

This award winning film profiles surfer Léa Brassy, who grew up in northern France. By the time she was 17, she moved to southern France for the warm water surf. Accustomed to a life on the road, her nomadic lifestyle takes a pause at the Unstad break in the Lofoten Islands in Northern Norway. Trading in her bikini for a thick wetsuit, she connects with the surrounding mountains, Arctic surf, and simple living. Whether it’s paddling hard for a wave, or chasing after a passion - Léa reminds us that if the timing is right, we have to Catch It.

A documentary about the last free flowing river in Europe. Wilderness, free flowing river, species diversity, simple and loving people, exploring of the river valley, sleeping under the stars, whitewater kayaking and clear message why we have to fight for the rivers…

From the depth of the creative visuals to the groundbreaking, never-been-done-before scale of the shoot, Afterglow is being hailed as one of the most cinematically profound ski movies ever made. Deep pillows and Alaskan spines, all filmed at night, with massive lights, custom made LED suits, and a national governments worth of logistics, planning, and civil engineering.

Filmed as a partnership between Sweetgrass Productions, Philips TV, and the Swedish Agency Ahlstrand & Wållgren, it's two parts creativity, one part branded content, and a pinch of masochism for good measure. Overall, it's an incredibly unique partnership between our vision of skiing and the color and light technology behind the Philips Ambilight TV.

A handful of dedicated Vancouverites are bringing a new sport to their local mountains, a sport that has always been linked exclusively to Utah and the Alps: Canyoneering. Against all expectations, the surroundings of Vancouver are an amazing playground for canyoneers, and one thing sets the region apart from all others: none of these canyons have ever been explored. Nobody even knows where they are.

Travelling by bike is a lifestyle and a philosophy: it is a mixture of all I really love in life: cycle touring, nature, sport, adventure and ... mountains. In 2014 Valérie and I (Laurent) kept this spirit in mind while crossing the Alps from North to South in autonomy. We cycled from Geneva to Nice within one month, discovered sublime mountains through three countries, climbed mythical passes and met extraordinary people, those who shape the mountains. We traveled 1200 km with 34,000 meters of elevation gain: every day was an adventure … And never forget: stop your CAR, ride your BIKE!

Travel the narrow streets and alleys of Boston, where a record 110 inches of snow transformed Beantown into a blank white canvas. Experience a stormy Alaska, as a weeklong storm drops ten feet of fresh snow. Discover Paradise on the far away peaks of Greece, Kosovo, Japan and beyond. Paradise Waits is true documentation of the season as a whole, a ski and snowboard film that you can truly follow. 

The children of the wind

By filming “the children of the wind” I was shocked to discover that the Greek disorganization and dysfunction exists even in sailing, in a country that is ideal for the sport. On the contrary, the high level of Greek athletes’ performance paints quite a different picture. This conflict between disorganization and the top level performances has been my motivation to make this documentary. Upon commencing the shooting, I began to feel like a rescue team. The camera, in the eyes of the athletes, looked like a flare of hope. In the end, this is something created with rare ingredients such as sacrifice, immeasurable effort and valor. The gem of the movie is little Garifalos, who against his parents’ wishes, wants to learn how to sail, as well as Antonis Bougiouris who talks about his beloved National Sailing Team. What was made in the end wasn’t a flare of hope but a firework of joy, inspiration and awakening.

It’s a coming of age story that also takes a close look at the state of rock climbing and alpinism, as well as their many philosophies and ethical approaches.

For the past fifty years, Yosemite’s massive cliffs have drawn explorers and madmen to leave materialism behind and venture onto the high, lonesome granite.
The larger-than-life characters of Yosemite carved out an extreme bohemian lifestyle in the valley: living in the dirt, clashing with the National Park authorities, and pioneering the boldest climbs on earth. The torch has been passed across three generations of climbers; through rivalries, tragedies and triumphs, the art of Yosemite climbing has advanced beyond anyone’s imagination.

Starring Yosemite climbing legends Dean Potter, Alex Honnold, Lynn Hill, Jim Bridwell, Royal Robbins, Warren Harding, Yvon Chouinard, John Bachar, “Chongo” Chuck and so many more…

“After we made the documentary “North of the Sun”, I was more than ready for a new adventure. This time it was me and my brothers, Markus and Håkon. We wanted to explore new waves and nature and it was the Bear Island, south of Svalbard, that tempted and challenged us. This expedition was more extreme, but for us it was important to focus on the good life one can have in harmony with nature. Our goal was to follow a dream. Explore the island and ourselves as three brothers. We knew that there had to be waves out there, and this was truly a place few or no one had ever surfed before. The surfing was our main motivation for going there, but we also wanted to have the opportunity to wake up each morning and do exactly what we felt like” Inge Wegge

American journalist Elizabeth Hawley, 89, maintains the world's largest and most treasured archive of Himalayan mountaineering expeditions and has recorded information on more than 80,000 Himalayan ascents. Her work is trusted by news organizations and publications around the globe. All this despite never having climbed a mountain herself. 'Keeper of the Mountains' is a portrait of a woman who played an unlikely key role in the Golden Age of Himalayan mountaineering, defied the traditional gender roles of her day and settled alone in Kathmandu in 1960, and has famously lived life on her own terms. The film is an impressionistic snapshot of her life and the challenges she currently faces as she tries to maintain the mountaineering archives and her independence while dealing with advancing age.

TRIAL and ERROR is a fundamental method of solving problems. It is characterised by repeated, varied attempts which are continued until success or until the agent stops trying.

The season was dominated by new experiences, epic powder runs, major setbacks, injuries, awesome lines, annoying negotiations in foreign countries, lots of fun and pain.

The movie features the skiing of Fabian Lentsch, Daniel Regensburger, Joi Hoffmann, Max Zipser, Alex Hoffmann, Roman Rohrmoser, David Pitschmann, Neil Williman, Michael Trojer, Jochen Mesle, Björn Heregger and Raphael Webhofer during their winter season 2013/14.
