The PATHAN PROJECT  is  a film based on the Pakistan expedition of Nicolas Favresse, Jean-Louis Wertz, Mathieu Maynadier and Carlitos Molina. It follows their story in a very colorful manner, highlighting not only the interactions among team members but also with local people that assist this expedition.

Screened to the Romanian audience on Friday, the 22nd of November, The PATHAN PROJECT surprised everyone with the wealth of humor and genuine approach on this real life story.

We are happy that Matthieu Maynadier recovered from the presented accident and we could not but salute the joyful perspective on life and human nature that the entire team strives to convey!

Enjoying a wide international participation in all competitions, this year we are once again honored to present the winners of the film, photography, innovation and mountain activity awards.
