Hibernatus
Hubert de Tartas' life becomes a complete muddle when his wife's grandfather is unearthed after having spent 65 years in frozen hibernation in the polar circle. After being de-frosted, the Hibernating Man believes it is still the beginning of the century. Nothing is spared to keep that illusion alive. At the end of his rope, Hubert blurts out the truth and takes the man from Edwardian times on a crazy spree through an ultramodern Twentieth Century.
Odyssées blanches
1947. The rush to the poles marked the beginning of an incredible human adventure to discover the last-remaining unknown lands. In France, Paul-E?mile Victor persuaded the government to finance expeditions to explore the Arctic and Antarctic. For the pioneers the conditions were Dantean, all in the name of science.
Groenland, annexe-moi si tu peux
Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, is currently at the center of international covetousness and tensions. In his rivalry with China for technological supremacy, Donald Trump has made the acquisition of this Arctic territory a priority in order to secure American control over rare earth elements, of which Greenland is believed to hold one of the world's largest reserves.
THE MENTAL
Seb embarks on a unique journey by joining Mike Horn for a few days on a stage of Mike's new expedition. Unaware of what to expect, Seb returns with lots of beautiful memories and lessons. Although not presented as a traditional documentary, Seb encapsulates his experience in a captivating vignette, eager to share this remarkable chapter of his life with others.
The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice
If the ice sheet covering Greenland melted, global sea levels would rise 21 feet, profoundly impacting our planet. How, why, and when could this happen? A few years ago, scientists found lost sediment from a secret sub-ice Cold War base in the Arctic from the 1960s that holds clues to a time when Greenland Ice Sheet was gone. The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice is an hour-long documentary about the discovery of this sediment and the critical implications of the science to our future. The finding that the ice sheet melted in the past completely transforms our understanding of the stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Big Walls Big Seas
After South Georgia in 2008 and Antarctica in 2010, Isabelle Autissier, Lionel Daudet, and their crew set off on a new adventure to Greenland. This non-motorized sporting, environmental, and scientific expedition began on June 10th and concluded in mid-September 2016. Aboard a sailboat with an aluminum hull capable of navigating Arctic ice, the crew sailed to southwest Greenland. Lionel Daudet, Enzo Odo, and Siebe Vanhee embarked on a journey to explore this land of discovery, aiming to open new and breathtaking routes on big walls. An adventure between sea and mountains, crew and climbing team.
The Last Igloo
Documentary that follows a lone Inuit as he hunts, fishes and constructs an igloo, a way of life threatened by climate change.
Groenlandia - The Shark Tooth
Cherry on the Cake
Embark on the Kamak ship, bound for Greenland and its pristine cliffs, following our favorite Belgians: Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll, Nicolas Favresse, Jean-Louis Wertz, and their newest Swedish recruit Aleksej Jaruta. After 2 weeks of sailing between storms and icebergs, the quartet sets up their base camp at the foot of the Mythic Cirque, a unique spot surrounded by rocky towers rising from the sea. Their goal: establish dream lines on these untouched summits, armed with their musical instruments. An ode to adventure and friendship!
Ice Passengers
Greenland, the largest island in the world, is unlike any other country. The film recounts the exploration of the Inlandis cavities in Greenland during the summer of 1992. Janot Lamberton, one of the pioneers of these expeditions, ventured, with speleologists and mountaineers, into the moulins, these immense crevasses that tear through the back of the Inlandis, a vast glacier four times the size of France, while glaciologist Louis Reynaut studies infraglacial phenomena. It is obviously not easy to penetrate the depths of the ice and film at a depth of 150 meters in sub-zero temperatures. The light is blue in one of the most fascinating landscapes on the planet, where scientists and explorers collaborate to deepen their knowledge of the Earth.

Là où naissent les icebergs
Somewhere, in the far North, in a secret dwelling, icebergs are being born… The glacier's round belly gifts them with freedom to drift, like giant babies of the sea. At the term of an endless travel of 400 kilometres across a territory combed by storms and haunted by the solitary white bear, Pierre Dutrievoz, Lorentz and Niels - a father and his two sons aged 11 and 15 - reach this secret place in the spring of 2013, with their Inuit friends, marking on the smooth mirror of the Greenland icy immensity one of the most beautiful stories of arctic exploration, of the last decade.
