Our Judges say:
Gorgeous, long, thorough and extremely interesting film about skiing and snowboarding the high mountains of the Altai. The film engages with local people well, but it's mostly amazing shots of mountain adventuring. Great film.Paul Hodgson Music Judge
This film takes us deep into the Tavan Bogd massif, nestled in the Mongolian Altai Mountains. Camille Armand, Pierre Hourticq, and Victor Daviet share a common passion — not only for the mountains, but also for exploring remote and unfamiliar lands. Tavan Bogd — literally “The Five Sacred Mountains” — refers to a group of peaks steeped in symbolism and legend. For two weeks, a yurt will serve as their base camp, allowing them to explore this little-known massif on skis and snowboards. But what are they really looking for in these mountains?
