Everest from Within
This feature-length documentary retraces the journey of 4 Canadians who set off to climb the perilous north side of Mount Everest without the use of oxygen or sherpas. The group's ordeal gives us a rare insight into the human condition under stress, and, while immobilized on the edge of the mountain by extreme weather, we share the tensions that afflict the group's solidarity - threatening the dream of attaining the summit itself.
A Labour of Sharing
A documentary that allows us to witness three births in their intimacy. Through their actions, the couples who agreed to participate in the film help to propose alternatives to the dominant medical interventions in hospitals.
