From Guatemala to Peru via Bolivia, @kilianbron and his team have scoured some out-of-this world spots. Capturing footage for their short film Fuego led them from the foot of the Fuego volcano the day before its historic eruption, to meeting the Cholitas Escaladoras, women from the Aymaras indigenous community who climb and conquer summits!⁠

Catch Fuego at one of our VIMFF World Tour screenings near you, and be transported by this ode to adventure. 🚲️⁠

Journey with professional skier, Anna Segal, acros

Journey with professional skier, Anna Segal, across the valleys, forests, boulder fields and mountain summits of British Columbia, as she explores her affinity with seasonal change, and the role it plays in connecting our modern lifestyle to the natural world.

The ephemeral (fleeting) seasons that punctuate our year come courtesy of the Earth’s elliptical orbit around the sun, and the tilt of its axis—23.4 degrees. This poetically phrased short film explores the transformation of mountain landscapes and how humans are both internally and externally affected by these changes.

Anna Segal moved to British Columbia in order to ski the surrounding mountains throughout winter, but with each year, she has discovered that the seasons in between offer her just as much fulfillment as the winter she reveres. While skiing, hiking, running, scrambling, and climbing her way through the mountains, Anna gains a clearer understanding of the importance of predictable seasonal change and how it affects her, and the outdoor loving community she is surrounded by.

Check out this beautifully shot film, 23.4 Degrees, as part of the VIMFF World Tour.

Working on a project this season?

Get inspired to get sendy with Rab athlete Anna Hazlett.

'Hope' documents Anna's journey to send Prinzip Hoffnung (E9/10, 8b/+) in Bürs, Austria.

Towering over the small town of Bürs, Prinzip Hoffnung combines slab and crack climbing, and features bold moves with precarious gear placements, and long runouts with serious fall potential.

Anna and her climbing partner Tom Randall share the process behind this technical line, with their usual silliness, authenticity, and vulnerability.

A bicycle, in its essence, is a way from one place

A bicycle, in its essence, is a way from one place to another. But sometimes it’s also a way through something.

For Tessa Treadway and her nine-year-old son, Kasper, mountain biking has soothed the grief from losing husband and father, professional skier Dave Treadway, to a 2019 backcountry-skiing accident.

For Kasper, it’s a hyper focused outlet for his errant energy. For Tessa it’s an escape from the chaos of single motherhood, as she discovers the surprise gift of joy that flows from chasing him.

A beautiful and poignant tale of perseverance. Watch Chasing Kasper in the VIMFF World Tour.

"For going out, I found, was really going in." The

"For going out, I found, was really going in." The famous John Muir quote speaks to many of us in mountain communities.

In the short film Flow, we get a glimpse at how true that statement is for Nathan and Ruben de Vaux. These young mountain biking brothers from the Dyfi Valley in Wales are making their mark on the British MTB scene.

Together, they tell us how they got into riding and they reveal the benefits and challenges that neurodivergence brings to their riding and how riding bikes helps them regulate their lives.

Catch Flow in the VIMFF World Tour.

Indigenous Women Outdoors prepares for an enduro r

Indigenous Women Outdoors prepares for an enduro race but they aren’t racing for themselves. They are thinking of the next seven generations coming after them.

“The Seventh Generation Principle is an indigenous concept originating from the Haudenosaunee (also known as the Iroquois Confederacy), in which you think about the next seven generations coming after you in your words, work, and actions; and to remember the seven generations who came before you.

We are not racing for us; we are challenging ourselves to lead our youth for the next seven generations.” - Indigenous Women Outdoors

Catch Racing for the Next 7 in the VIMFF World Tour.

We acknowledge that this was filmed on the Indigenous Land of Coast Salish peoples, specifically Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation (Squamish) and the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe. We thank these caretakers of this land who have lived and continue to live here since time immemorial.
