RIVERTON RISING: A NEW CHAPTER FOR TRAILS IN PORTLAND | 9 minutes | United States | Short synopsis: As mountain biking gains traction in Maine, a new trail in Portland signals the beginning of a shift. Follow a small crew of trail builders as they bring Riverton Trolley Park to life — a project that shows how bikes, dirt, and community can reshape a place.
PATSO | 7 minutes | by Greg Cairns | United States | Short synopsis: Patso is a celebration of what is possible when we embrace the river community around us.

TALK TO FRANK | 5.42 minutes | by Matt Green | United Kingdom | Short synopsis: My name is Frank, and I'm a cocker spaniel. My story began when I moved in with Maleek, my human. Together we are going to go to the Alps, we're going to see the peaks, the ridges, the summits, and we're going to heal together.

THE BRIGHT STONE | 3.8 minutes | by Gareth Leah | United States | Short synopsis: The Bright Stone follows photographer Gareth Leah as he climbs a remote granite tower in Brazil’s wilderness. This meditative film explores the physical and mental challenges of establishing a new route, reflecting on why we confront fear and seek what lies beyond comfort.
WHERE THE WIND TAKES YOU | 11.87 minutes | by Nate Dodge | United States | Short synopsis: Embracing the power of the arctic wind just 10 degrees shy of the North Pole, a sailboat captain sails North dodging icebergs, exploring remote fjords, and experiencing a close encounter with the ultimate apex predator.

THE SMOKE THAT THUNDERS | 4.18 minutes | by Caleb Roberts | Canada | Short synopsis: Aiming to paddle the fabled Minus rapids at the base of Victoria Falls on the Zambezi river, Ben Marr's biggest challenge is to get to them by trekking upstream. A total assault on the senses awaits as the force of the river speaks for itself.

HAAGUA | 15.37 minutes | by Marc Antony Chavez, Octavio Aceves Coutiño | Mexico, United States | Short synopsis: Haagua is an Indigenous surf film celebrating the bond between Native American surfers and the ocean. Featuring ancestral traditions and cultural resilience, it follows surfers who honor the past and revive cultural practices, blending heritage with the art of surfing in a story of identity and connection.

THE SILENT SPOTTER | 18.93 minutes | by Ra Beattie | United States | Short synopsis: Silent Spotter follows Tommy Batun, a deaf and mute fly-fishing guide in Mexico.
