THE WEEKEND SAILOR
Mexico 2016
Direction: Bernardo Arsuaga
Actors: Ramón Carlín, Enrique Carlín
40 minutes
Seventeen yachts, seven nations, 27,000 miles at sea: 1973 marks the year a sailing trip around the world turned into a race. But when the first Whitbread Round The World Yacht Race sets off from Portsmouth, England, it’s not only the Empire’s most renowned sailing teams on the start line. There’s a dark horse in the competition: Ramón Carlín, aptly named the Weekend Sailor, decides to take part and he’s got company: With a motley crew of friends and family and next to no sailing experience, the 50-year-old Mexican embarks on a voyage to remember. Shunned by the press at first, Carlín turns into the unlikely hot contender of the race. THE WEEKEND SAILOR tells the legendary story of a man the sailing world wasn’t ready for.
THE ACCORD
Island / USA 2016
Direction: RC Cone
Actors: Heiðar Logi Elíasson, Gudmundur Thorarinn
Production: Tributaries Digital Cinema
19 minutes
If you want to surf in Iceland, you need to know what you’re up against: The forces of nature reign fiercely on this northern island. The grimmest is the North Atlantic wind. In the mind of surfer Heiðar Logi Elíasson this wind is a red-bearded drunkard, unpredictable and capricious. The rough beauty of Iceland and its inhabitants’ black humour set the stage for THE ACCORD, the tale of a surfer making friends with a force of nature. This award-winning surf film serves up the swell ice-cold, proving what a paradise Iceland can be when wind and surfer become brothers beneath the tumultuous skies.

JOHANNA UNDER THE ICE
UK 2016
Direction: Ian Derry
Actors: Johanna Nordblad
3 minutes

THE LEGACY
Mexico 2016
Direction: Erick Higuera, Eréndira Valle
Production: Erick Higuera
5 minutes
It has taken only fifty years to destroy dozens of healthy and thriving marine ecosystems due to overfishing and pollution. Lots of species have vanished from their natural habitat. Almost twenty years ago the pacific manta ray was forced to leave his home in the Gulf of California but it has found a new one in a Mexican archipelago – after it was declared a protected area. The short film “The Legacy” shows how endangered species can recover – if we give them a chance.
A PLASTIC OCEAN
USA 2016
Direction: Craig Leeson
Production: Adam Leipzig, Jo Ruxton
20 minutes
It is no longer a secret that plastic waste is posing a threat to our oceans. The problem is not only the visible pollution: dirty beaches for example. Microplastics – tiny little pieces of plastic – almost invisible, are even more dangerous. It floats in our oceans and gathers in gigantic garbage patches. And from there it finds its way into the food chain. Adventurer and filmmaker Craig Leeson has tracked down plastic waste to get to the bottom of the problem. He connects our consumer behaviour with ocean pollution and asks the crucial question: What must we do to save our oceans?
CHAPTER ONE
Niederlande 2016
Regie: Bob van de Gronde
Produktion: Eyeforce
Production in association with Red Bull Media House
10 minutes
Kiteboarding has become more and more popular in recent years. Seems like a good time to take a look back to the beginnings when Windsurfing Champion Robby Naish and Big Wave legend Pete Cabrinha were among the first ones to try the new board sport. By now Kiteboarding has also got its original heros: Keahi de Aboitiz, Youri Zoon, Bruna Kayija and many more. In „Chapter One“ we follow them to the world’s best Kiteboarding spots on the planet.
