EOFT 2023: Best of

The films

SUMMIT IN THE SKY

The team surrounding French paraglider Antoine Girard sets course for the Karakorum and explores the airspace between the mighty eight- and seven-thousand-meter peaks of the region. Although oxygen quickly becomes scarce at high altitudes, the team is within reach of a new paragliding altitude record.

TRIPLE EDGE

The two mountain guides and alpinists Michi Wohlleben and Lukas Hinterberger have set an extraordinary alpine challenge for themselves. They aim to make the first ascent of the three ridges of the Salbitschijen in winter. This means they are in for a lofty adventure at an altitude of almost 3000 meters.

THE GREAT TRAVERSE

Sophie Planque und Jérémy Vaugeois radeln von Alaska bis nach Feuerland. Während der zweieinhalb Jahre, die sie auf dem Panamerican Highway verbringen, dokumentiert Sophie nicht nur die faszinierenden Landschaften Nord, Süd- und Mittelamerikas mit der Kamera, sondern auch die Begegnungen mit den unterschiedlichsten Menschen, die sie unterwegs treffen.

THE NINE WHEELS

Emric (10) and Raoul (13) Schneeberger are familiar with almost every bike park in Europe. They live in a camper van with their parents Toni and Laetita and train in a new area every few days. But the MTB lifestyle has its obstacles: Laetitia suffers from a neurodegenerative disease—the reason the family choses to live completely in the here and now.

SHIFTING

Snowboarder Camille Armand is known for his hard-charging yet finessed riding style. A Chamonix local since he was a teen, the 30-year-old leaves the freeride circuit behind then bursts back onto the scene as a wildcard in Norway's Lyngen Alps where Monsieur Armand's flair for riding powder is on full display—and big-screen worthy.
