Melody of the Spring - New Zealand
2009 Β· β 6
Spring in New Zealand is one of the most beautiful seasons in this country. A country with a pleasant climate and green and eye-catching areas hosts millions of tourists from all over the world every year in spring. New Zealand is a country in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean, which consists of two large islands and two small islands. New Zealand is far from the dry region, so the country of Australia is the closest country to this region, 2 thousand kilometers away from this country. The majority of the population of this country is made up of English and Irish immigrants. NB - This movie has no voice overs, and includes a second "natural surround sounds" soundtrack without the music.

Sariri
2024
The mountain reveals honesty to oneself like nothing else. Dopamine, inner peace, or simply being unreachable are all understandable reasons why someone seeks the summit. With personal stories and individual connections to the mountains, "Sariri" brings together five protagonists from Switzerland, Austria, Bolivia, and Peru. Descending steep walls on skis in the Andes at over 6,000 meters pushes the group to their limits. With a first descent of the 6074-meter high "Chachacomani" in Bolivia, the mountaineers consciously take certain risks. The invisible power of altitude presents a significant obstacle to overcome. The film explores the question of why mountains play such an important role in some lives and why these cloud-catchers made of stone, snow, and ice are the closest place to heaven. The willingness to undertake long journeys and the mountain itself are what shapes "Sariri."

The Collective
2019 Β· β 8
Adventuring to undiscovered peaks together, plotting midnight-raids on inner-city handrails, lapping your home run until that last ray of sunshine disappears behind a distant ridge - Skiing is Collective. Some call it a tribe mentality, others call it a shared sense of purpose. This film is our definition, written by a diverse team, each with their own ideas, their own forms of expression. "The Collective" is more than a sum of its parts. No matter who you are or where you come from - it feels good to be part of something special.
