This film takes us deep into Mongolia’s Altai Mountains. Camille Armand, Pierre Hourticq, and Victor Daviet share a passion not only for the mountains, but also for exploring remote and unfamiliar terrain. Tavan Bogd — “The Five Sacred Mountains” — refers to a group of peaks steeped in symbolism and legend. For two weeks, a yurt becomes their base camp as they set out to explore this little-known massif on skis and snowboards. But
what are they truly searching for in these mountains? Director Yannick Boissenot, who gained recognition in 2024 with PACHAMAMA (featured in the FFF archive), once again showcases his eye for storytelling and the camera. With subtle sensitivity, the protagonists merge with the landscape and the locals who accompany them — letting the sacred mountains themselves take the leading role.

“On the Wave” plunges audiences into the breathtaking and perilous world of big wave surfing through the life of Sebastian Steudtner, the German outsider who rose to become the sport’s world record holder. Born in landlocked Nuremberg, Steudtner abandoned school at sixteen to chase the ocean — a decision that led him from windsurfing in Hawaii to confronting towering walls of water few humans would dare approach. Shunned at first by the insular surf world, mocked onstage after career-defining rides, and often left without sponsors, he refused to quit. His relentless pursuit carried him from the icy shores of Ireland to the legendary swells of Nazaré, Portugal — the wave that would not only catapult him into the history books but also shift the center of big wave surfing to Europe.
