Synopsis:
Two alpinists, Ola and Bole, embark on the adventure of a lifetime – a winter ascent along the dangerous Messer-Schmidt route. But before they reached the top, they were forced to abandon further ascent. Desperate and losing hope of staying alive, they surrender to thoughts of a happier scenario. The animated film “comes true” of their wishes and the good old search for a better life begins.

Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.
