Patagonie - Terre de l'extrême

Mauro Corona lives in Erto, in the Vajont valley. Passionate mountaineer, brilliant writer, playful protagonist of memorable company evenings crossed by lively discussions, he is also - perhaps above all - a talented sculptor of great expressive originality. The film is a portrait of the man and the artist in his social environment, but also a reflection on the sculptures which find direct and immediate inspiration in the mountains.

Patrick Berhault - Il Gesto e La Grazia

Pietro Dal Prà is one of the most famous Italian rock climbers. In the documentary we see him climbing Bec D'Ajal, in the Ampezzo Dolomites. He follows a solo ascent on the “Paolo VI” route to the Pilastro della Tofana di Rozes. The two ascents are a starting point and an opportunity for Pietro to tell about his world of mountaineering and climbing, a sort of journey into the world of vertical in the company of unusual climbing companions, the backpack, fear and emotions.

The Cursed Mountains, Kanun, Blood debts, Vendetta. Tethered children, Truce, Honor restored, dishonored name. It is easy to become taken with the stories and places of tragic archaism, events that are difficult to comprehend in our modern times. A mere two hours away by plane from Zurich or Milan, northern Albania, although geographically close, is largely unknown to the rest of Europe. It remains hostile and unfathomable, largely because of its implacable customs and rituals. Only when an Albanian, fleeing some remote mountain region and the customs he has violated, is killed in the streets of Europe or America, do we remember this other corner of Europe... Last spring a film crew from TSI crossed the Cursed Mountains of northern Albania to look into the historical and social origins of the medieval laws that make up the Kanun, the Code. They recorded a series of tales of murder, desperate flight, lives struck dumb "tethered", by a modern mob, under the guise of an age-old tradition.

The history and life of the soldiers involved the world’s highest, less known and most absurd war. This conflict began in 1984, a battle for the control over the Siachen glacier located at the extreme northern edge of the Indian-Pakistan border. Twenty years of conflict to maintain sovereignty over a few hundred square kilometres of ice, rock lost somewhere in the middle of the Himalayas.

Siachen, A War for Ice

German musician Uwe Berkemer and the Caucasian Chamber Orchestra would like to deliver a peace message: the language of music is universal. It is indeed possible to perform together and live together in spite of different nationalities (ethnic groups, languages, religions and cultures) and even when at war with one another. The film would like to convey a universal message: you must believe in your own dreams. It doesn’t matter whether or not they come true, at least you will have tried.
