About : Projection “Chimères Patagones” et “Les Jours Sauvages”
"Chimères Patagones," 2026:
"Lise Billon, Fanny Schmutz, and Maud Vanpoulle—high-altitude mountain guides, climbers, and friends—decide to rewrite the history of Cerro Torre, located near Fitz Roy in Patagonia, from a female perspective. The film’s illustrated and animated introduction recounts the very male-dominated history of this legendary peak, as well as the more personal stories of the three protagonists, who share their relationship with mountaineering and their place as women in a world that still doesn’t always welcome them with open arms. After spending some time in El Chaltén getting to know the climbing community and training on routes and boulders, the climbers set out for three days on the face to tackle the 800-meter vertical ascent of this granite behemoth. Taking turns climbing pitches of ice and rock, they become the first all-female team to reach the summit."
"Les Jours Sauvages," 2023:
"Four friends from Savoie—Alexandre Marchesseau, Hélias Millerioux, Christophe Tricou, and Aurélien Lardy—embark on an ambitious traverse of Alaska’s highest mountains. For 50 days, operating completely independently, they cross frozen lakes, glaciers, and other rugged terrain in constant cold and under grueling weather conditions. Hauling their gear and supplies on pulks, the adventurers put their endurance and friendship to the test. An extraordinary adventure taking them over the peaks of Denali and Foraker before finally reaching Anchorage by inflatable canoe."
