As intergalactically infamous mountaineers Cam and Vinny battle crumbly ice, deadly avalanches, altitude coughs and sketchy rappels in Peru’s Cordillera Blanca mountain range, the nagging question “Is this worth it?” echoes ever louder, while also struggling with knowing that: “The most dangerous thing you can do in life, is play it safe.”

Alex Waterhouse and Billy Ridal are two recently retired competition climbers that attempt to apply their indoor skills to real rock in the most extra-ordinary fashion. With almost no traditional climbing experience and barely a multi-pitch climb between them, our audacious duo set out to be the first Britons to make a free ascent of the world famous Nose on El Capitan, Yosemite. The route was first climbed by Lynn HIll in 1993 and has sub-sequently only recieved eight ascents in 30 years. To say the odds were stacked against them would be an understatement comparable in size to the route itself. Hold tight as the action packed movie tracks this most unlikely of journeys to success. Features contributions from Lynn Hill, Hans Florine and Leo Houlding.

A Life Outside *WORLD PREMIERE/MATINEE*
Director: Mat Hanes
Year Released: 2025
Country: USA
Run Time: 1:36

This film traces a modern guided climb of the Grand Teton against the sweeping legacy of Paul Petzoldt, the Wyoming outsider whose life—from K2 and the Matterhorn to training soldiers in WWII—reshaped American mountaineering and led to the founding of Exum Mountain Guides and NOLS. Set in the Tetons, the Alps, and the Wind River Range, it follows guides who shoulder real risk not for glory, but to bring others home safely. As a guided ascent of the Grand’s Exum Ridge unravels, Petzoldt’s principles echo through the decisions that determine who lives to see the trailhead, revealing the invisible labor and quiet heroism that make so many adventures possible.

The AA Meeting

‘The AA Meeting’ is a dark comedy set in a support group where, at first glance, it seems three lost souls are battling drug and alcohol addictions. But as the stories unravel, it becomes clear; these aren’t drunks, they’re adrenaline junkies: a mountain biker, climber, and BASE jumper whose lives are quietly imploding under the guise of “living their best life.”

This isn’t recovery; it’s just addiction in Gore-Tex. Their marriages are crumbling, their bodies are falling apart, and their bank accounts are bleeding; yet they keep chasing the next hit like any good addict would. Now, for them therapy is just a $10K heli-drop.
AA doesn’t stand for Alcoholics Anonymous anymore; it’s Adrenaline Anonymous. Because some of us didn’t get sober, we just found a more photogenic way to self-destruct.
