Short films: stories, places and protagonists
Le Moulin des Artistes – directed by Pierre Cadot
Set in a 16th-century mill in the Chamonix valley, Le Moulin des Artistes tells the world of Peter Steltzner and Anati, the creative souls of a unique place: a ski laboratory, an art space, and a meeting place for free spirits.
The film, directed by Pierre Cadot for Yucca Films, traces the link between craftsmanship, community, and Alpine tradition, showing how shared passion can unite people even after a tragedy.
Simple as a Turn – directed by Pierre Cadot
For Nicholas Wolken, the turn is the very essence of snowboarding. The short film follows his quest for the perfect line: a form of personal expression that combines technique, sensitivity, and harmony with the snow.
Between childhood memories, boards designed for carving and descents that almost become an art form, Simple as a Turn is a tribute to the simplicity and beauty of the gesture.
DIG – Extreme Adventure in Alaska
DIG, directed by Nicholas Teichrob, chronicles snowboarder Ryland Bell’s exploits in one of the world’s wildest regions. Born and raised in Alaska, Bell tackles a 3,200-foot ridgeline near Haines after a 4.5-hour climb through 4,000 feet of vertical.
The month-long expedition on an isolated glacier turns into a test of endurance when a storm buries the base camp under 25 feet of snow. Between rationing and hours of digging, the team waits for the window of good weather that will finally allow Bell to attempt the descent.
