Two Point Four
20 minutes
Not your typical family holiday, but this is not your typical family. Leo Houlding, his wife Jess, their two children, Freya (age 9) and Jackson (age 5), climb Norway's national mountain via a 2000ft big wall. An epic adventure, demonstrating exactly what children are capable of, when given the opportunity to explore and push their boundaries.

Notes From Above the Clouds
15 minutes
Adham used to sell software in a suit and tie. Now he spends his summers looking after more than a thousand sheep at the top of Europe's highest mountain ranges. A beautifully shot film about a young person eschewing the life laid out for him, in a bid to reconnect and pursue a slower, albeit perhaps not easier, way of life.

Alpha
33 minutes
With no outside support, three friends with life changing spinal cord injuries attempt to cross Vatnajokull, the largest ice cap in Western Europe. An inspiring story about friendship, teamwork, and redefining what’s possible.

Alone Across Gola
21 minutes
An adventure into unchartered territory, Alone Across Gola follows Jude Kriwald’s extraordinary solo journey through Liberia's dense Gola rainforest. A tale of survival, but also a reflection on the struggles of pursuing dreams that are often sidelined by the pressures of modern life.

King of the Fells
16 minutes
A humble sheep farmer from the Lake District, Joss Naylor is arguably the greatest fell runner of all time. King of the Fells tells the story of Joss and his friend Frank Davies taking on the iconic Three Peaks challenge in 1971. A record which will most likely never be beaten. Following his death in 2024, the film pays homage to Joss, a true icon of the sport.
