Our Judges say:

Love seeing Kilian enjoy himself and speak so lovingly about the Pyrenees mountains. Heartbreaking, as always, to see the stark and visual impacts of climate change.

Beautifully made endurance athlete profile, where he attempts a massive run across the Pyrenees. Includes some of the best photography you'll ever see.

The film about Kilian Jornet’s latest adventure Sometimes testing limits requires you to look at a familiar place in a new way. When Kilian Jornet returned to the Pyrenees where he’d spent time with his family as a child, he knew he wanted to challenge himself in a way that was as aesthetic as it was a physical and mental challenge. With the assistance of local hut keepers, friends, and a rough GPX track to follow, Kilian traversed the range, linking all of the major 3000m peaks in just 8 days. Along the way he noticed evidence of glacial retreat, experienced the blurring of days and nights, and rediscovered the mountains of his motherland. Into the (Un)known is a journey through Kilian’s mind as he takes on the hardest challenge of his career.
