Directed by Paul Diffley, Produced by Dave Brown
E11 tells the story behind the first ascent of Rhapsody, a route considered to be the hardest tradition rock climb in the world. Told in an off beat dramadoc style the film attempts to understand what it takes to climb a route of this standard. E11 strives to get inside the head of its first ascensionist, the understated yet quite remarkable Dave MacLeod. Oh yeah, itÂ’s also packed full of ankle smashing, gear ripping, monster falls!

Directed by Olivier Higgins & Mélanie Carrier, Produced by IDEM
Asiemut, was this crazy idea to ride more than 8000 km by bike across Asia, from Mongolia to the Ganga plains in India. Passionate by video making and conscious of its great potential to communicate, we wanted to make a movie that would have our spectators reflect throughout a simplistic adventure, an adventure involving nomadic occidentals whom share their feelings, thoughts and values.

In June 2004, the Canadian team left from Vancouver on a two year odyssey that included rowing across 2 oceans, trekking over 3 continents, and exploring 17 countries. They managed the first rowboat crossing of the Bering Sea, travelled through the coldest lands outside of Antarctica, and trekked alongside Nomadic reindeer herders.
For 5 months they rowed unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean, enduring 4 cyclones during the worst hurricane season in recorded history, to complete their 10,000 km ocean crossing, making Julie the first woman to row across the Atlantic from mainland to mainland and the first Canadian woman to row across any ocean.

The Yenisey River Expedition 59min, Colin Angus - Canada
The first ever descent, from source to sea, of the 5540 kilometre Yenisey River, set against a backdrop of fairytale cultures and forbidding wilderness.
The Yenisey River is born in the heart of Mongolia and flows north, through Siberia, and on the the Arctic Ocean. It is the fifth longest river on the planet , and at the arrival of the new millennium no one had ever navigated its entirety.
Colin, along with his adventuring friends, Ben Kozel, Remy Quinter and Tim Cope, endeavored to be the first to run the Yenisey. The 5,540 km river is frozen for more than half the year, so the small team would have just a five month window to accomplish this feat. Dramatic footage captures their successful journey and provides an intimate perspective of a frozen nation emerging from the collapse of communism.
