EUSKADI PREMIERE
'Nininbaori' follows three climbers with disabilities through fragments of their daily lives, where ordinary domestic gestures intertwine with the quiet precision of athletic practice. Moving seamlessly from one to the next, the film refuses hierarchy, unfolding instead like the pages of a single book written by multiple hands.

NATIONAL PREMIERE
Matt Gunn's 2005 guidebook, 'Scrambles in Southwest British Columbia', helped introduce a generation of mountain enthusiasts to the mountains of British Columbia's Sea-to-Sky corridor. Nearly two decades later, as he works toward a long-awaited follow-up, Matt returns to the
routes that shaped the book's legacy—revisiting old scrambles, establishing new routes, and
reflecting on the impact of his life's work. But what responsibility comes with publishing information that can lead people into beautiful, remote, and dangerous terrain?

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE
The story of a trail race that began 25 years ago with the aim of uniting a town—Zegama—and a mountain—Aizkorri. Built with modest resources, driven by local initiative, and grounded in community work, over the years, it has become one of the most renowned mountain races in the world. Yet its growth brings a question: “How far?” How can it remain a global benchmark without losing the essence of the village, the mountain, and the spirit of community work?
