If some years have seen films crush the winners of the adventure screens festival, this thirtieth year in Dijon is not one of them. Indeed, the seven prizes awarded this year by different juries rewarded … seven different films! However, if one needs to be taken out of the water, it is fine. Out of Frame by Jordan Manoukian who was awarded the Toison d’Or prize for adventure film by the jury chaired by Elisabeth Revol, a famous Himalayan.

An adventure from which this “lifestyle explorer” made a film, Four months on my biosphere, which leaves with the youth prize of the City of Dijon.
