Our Judges say:
Ski trip by public transport?! Yes please! Cinematographically beautiful and fun. The animation is on-point. Makes skiing look even more fun!Frit Tam
"Going East" is a self-documented film that follows a group of curious skiers on a mission to travel as far east as possible and ski along the way using only public transport. They want to find out if a three-week ski trip is doable by public transport and how far it can take them. As they traverse diverse mountain ranges, immerse themselves in various cultures, and spend over 140 hours in transit, they ultimately realize that the true essence of these trips lies not just in the skiing, but in the journey itself.
Sustainability Notes:
The film does not adresse sustainability directly but should inspire people to take public transportation more often and frequently. If these 3 skiers can travel with their whole equipment over 6.000km then it should be easy to take the train or bus for a few minutes or hours to go somewhere instead of using a car.
