The best films of the European Outdoor Film Tour 18/19:

NORTH OF NIGHTFALL (USA 2016, 18 min.) MOUNTAIN BIKE:
In winter Axel-Heiberg-Iceland is completely covered in darkness and completely covered by snow and ice. But when the sun rises again, the island shows its true face. The scree landscape criss-crossed by mighty glaciers offers the best mountain bike terrain: Darren Berrecloth, Carson Storch, Cam Zink and Tom Van Steenbergen cannot resist the seemingly endless descents.

A TO B ROLLERSKI (Latvia 2017, 21 min.) ROADTRIP:
In summer 1988 Raimonds Dombrovskis started the longest training run of his biathlon career. Together with his dog Bucis and a VW Bulli full of equipment, he wants to cover 6,759 kilometers on roller skis, from the far north of Canada to the Mexican border. The gravel roads are bumpy, the leggings are skimpy and the outcome of the project is uncertain. Will he arrive in Mexico?

THE FRENCHY (USA 2018, 10 min.) PORTRAIT:
Anyone who hears Jacques Houot's life story will wonder how the 82-year-old managed to get that old. There were at least 23 opportunities in his life where he could barely jump from death. Today, the Frenchman lives in Carbondale (Colorado). There is no mountain bike trail and no ski slope safe from him. His motto: "No problem!"

8000+ (France, Germany 2018, 21 min.) ADVENTURE:
In July 2016, paraglider Antoine Girard sets out to explore the Karakoram on a three-week hike and fly tour. The Frenchman has already failed twice to climb the 8051m Broad Peak and fly from the summit with the paraglider into the valley. Now he hopes that the updrafts will carry his umbrella and him to the top of the eight thousand meter peak - or maybe even beyond?

MBUZI DUME - STRONG GOAT (Germany, Switzerland, Tanzania 2018, 15 min.) EXPEDITION:
At the age of 8 years Tom Belz lost his left leg due to cancer. Since then he has been walking with crutches and has been standing on life with only one leg. In order to prove that his disability is not an excuse for him, he climbed the 5,895 meter high Kilimanjaro in summer 2018 - together with the doctor who saved his life 23 years ago: Dr. Klaus Siegler.

THE AO (Germany, 2018, 24 min.) PORTRAIT:
Adam Ondra is one of the most successful sport climbers of our day. With “Silence” he climbed the most difficult sport climbing route in the world and established a new level of difficulty with 9c. But is it only muscle strength and endurance that the Czech uses to conquer the most difficult routes? Or is it not his mental strength that makes him climb a blindfolded 8a?
