Ice & Palms || (Full Movie)

Ice & Palms [Eis & Palmen] - Bikepacking across the alps and skiing iconic mountains along the way - no motor allowed!

(MAKE SURE TO SWITCH ON SUBTITLES)

The documentary follows skiers Jochen Mesle and Max Kroneck on their most ambitious ski tour yet. A 100% self powered adventure from southern Germany all the way to the mediterranean sea.

The two friends have traveled the world for many mountainous adventures, but while skiing in distant locations this idea grew in their minds: a ski expedition that starts right on their own doorsteps. Six weeks, 1.800 km, 35.000 vertical meters and a dream come true. After pedaling and skiing through Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy and France, they reached the beach in Nice in early June 2018. The movie premiered at St. Anton Filmfest in August 2018.

Nike || Dream Crazier 

Nike used the 2019 Oscars yesterday as an opportunity to debut its brand new “Dream Crazy” ad campaign, which focusses on female athletes driving various sports forward, despite the pressures placed on them by society. 

In typical Nike style, powerful and dramatic narration is provided by Serena Williams on top of emotional archival footage.

“Winning 23 grand slams, having a baby, and then coming back for more? Crazy,” she says. “So if they wanna call you crazy, fine. Show them what crazy can do.”

A Dream of Myanmar || Short Film

Myanmar. A country that has been sleeping for a long time wakes up.

With cameras in hand Marta Trela and Henning Himmelreich try to capture the unique culture and stunning nature of this beautiful country before it changes irreversibly.

On one hand exploring Myanmar feels like stumbling into a living edition of the National Geographic: elephants leading processions of novice monks through dusty towns, a fruit seller carrying a basket of mangoes on her head: a fulfilment of the oriental fantasies of the West.

On the other- a country embracing its newly won identity rushing headlong into the future to catch up with the rest of the world: traditional Burmese sarongs meet singlets and baseball caps. Cheroot cigars become cigarettes.

‘This is Burma', wrote Rudyard Kipling. ‘It will be quite unlike any land you know about.’ Amazingly, over a century later, Myanmar retains the power to surprise and delight. Also for entirely new different reasons.

Hit play.

Gangsters in Paradise || The Deportees of Tonga

In Gangsters in Paradise || Deportees of Tonga, VICE embeds with four Tongan nationals who have been sent back to the tiny island nation where they were born after serving prison time in New Zealand and the United States.

Former gang members, they often struggle to reconnect with the culture, the language, and the people.

They are haunted by the stigma of their criminal pasts, which casts a pall over their employment prospects and puts a barrier between them and their compatriots.

Government support for returnees is non-existent, wages are low, and with Tonga in the midst of a methamphetamine crisis, the temptations to revert to the lives of crime they hoped to leave behind when they left prison are high.

Together with strong winds and exceptional aridity this is one of the hardest places to shoot timelapse in.
