Mia (6 mins) Marco Noe, Australia. Ten-year-old Mia is determined to land her biggest skating trick yet — again. For Mia, practice isn’t just routine; it’s progress in motion. BEST SHORT FILM
Mountain Of Mystery (34 mins) Jake Hopfinger, Justin Fann & Eric Parker, USA. Deep in British Columbia's most remote landscapes, a group of friends ski, kayak and surf their way through wild country. More than an extreme sports film, this is a story about shared challenge, laughter and the kind of unforgettable moments that only happen far from the beaten path. BEST ADVENTUROUS SPORTS & LIFESTYLES
Hunter's Moon (15 mins) Christina Lusti & Gee Pierrel, USA. Mountaineers Christina Lusti and Gee Pierrel are the first to ski an extremely steep line on the East Face of Aoraki. BEST SNOW SPORTS FILM
K2 – Chasing Shadows (67 mins) David Arnaud & Hugo Clouzeau, USA, subtitles. A record-breaking alpinist attempts a fast, oxygen-free ascent of K2 — one of the world's deadliest peaks— in a quest that pushes far beyond physical limits into deeply personal territory. GRAND PRIZE FILM
