Το Mountains on Stage έπειτα από 13 χρόνια ύπαρξης κάνει στάση για πρώτη φορά στην Κύπρο στη μεγάλη οθόνη, για μια βραδιά γεμάτη περιπέτεια στα βουνά., 7 Μάϊου 2026, στις 19:00.
Τεσσερις πρωτότυπες ταινίες, όπου αναρριχητές στην μακρινή Παταγονία μέχρι το Yosemite, από αλπικές διαδρομές μέχρι παραπέντε (paragliding) μας καλούν στα πιο μακρινά και όμορφα μέρη του κόσμου, εξυμνώντας ταυτόχρονα τη δύναμη της φιλίας, της ομαδικότητας και τη δύναμη του να ξεπερνάς τα όρια σου, θυμιζοντας μας το υπέροχο αίσθημα του να είσαι στα βουνά. Κανένας από αυτούς που συμμετέχουν δεν είναι ηθοποιός, είναι όλοι τους αληθινοί άνθρωποι που αναζητούν τη δική τους περιπέτεια με φόντο τα μαγικά βουνά.

Patagonian Chimeras
Directed by Guillaume Broust
Length: 35 min
Lise Billon’s adventure with Fanny Schmutz and Maud Vanpoulle lies at the crossroads of history, dream and reality. Their goal: the first all-female ascent of the Southeast Ridge of Cerro Torre in Patagonia. This legendary line, on the world’s most beautiful mountain, is full of exploits and controversies. While this movie reveals an extraordinary achievement, it also explores questions about the place of women in mountaineering and the dreams they are entitled to pursue. Are there still gender-related limits in a discipline where everyone risks their life ?
Cherry on the Cake
Based on the original work by Josh Lowell (Reel Rock), directed by Léopold Renié and Cyril Salomon
Length: 55 min
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 !
Why I fly
Directed by Jean-Baptiste Chandelier
Length: 4 min
With a nod to E.T. and Peter Pan, JB Chandelier offers an intimate and moving film, a true visual ode to freedom. Renowned for his impressive proximity flights, the paraglider reveals, through a highly poetic style, the sensations he experiences while flying. But above all, he reflects on the wounds that have shaped his life choices. An invitation to listen to our inner voice, the one that pushes us to achieve our dreams and live our lives to the fullest!
The Queen Swing
Directed by Thibaut Marot
Length: 53 min
In speed climbing, it’s all about timing. 24 hours is the time Kate Kelleghan and Laura Pineau gave themselves to complete the Triple Crown, the three major big-walls of Yosemite: El Capitan, Half Dome and Mount Watkins. An insane bet: three big walls, over 2,000 meters of extremely difficult climbing. For this challenge, never before attempted by an all-female team, risk-taking, determination and complicity will be the keys to success!
