Pedro’s Bay by Vissla


What is the legend of the enchanted Pedro’s Bay?

A secret whispered from one to the next. Somewhere on an island far, far away is a parallel life on a forgotten beach—with emerald waves and mushroom forests. Where toucans talk and trees grow full of fruit. Where wine trickles off rocks and mermaid lagoons meet black jungles.
The sun shines here everyday.

What is the power behind this strange book? Where is Pedro’s Bay?
Can this magical Earth potion possibly exist?

Join one brave traveler as he sets out on an extraordinary journey to discover the holy grail of paradise.

Britten- Return to The Island by Callum Cooper


The Isle of Man TT is, without doubt, the most dangerous race on the planet. In a similar vein to the World’s Fastest Indian at Bonneville in the 1960s, in 1994 New Zealand inventor John Britten and his team brought their futuristic racing motorcycle to this infamous race.

John Britten turned motorcycle design on its head in the early 1990s with the Britten V1000; a hand-built motorcycle designed and constructed by a small group of friends in John’s backyard shed in Christchurch. The motorcycle incorporated technologies seldom seen before: extensive use of carbon fibre, the radiator located under the seat, double wishbone front suspension, frameless chassis and engine data logging.

At the height of their endeavours the Britten team took three V1000 racers to the 1994 Isle of Man TT races. There they were confronted by the dark side of the world’s most famous and dangerous race track.  

EPIC FAIL by Greg Barth


In a time where post-truth news divides and conservative politics fails to lure in young voters, a extraordinary vote for world peace has dramatic consequences.
Epic Fail is an avant-garde essay that questions how we perceive truth, information and politics, seen through the dual lenses of our real and virtual identities.

Moved by the political events that shook 2016, the film is inspired by Jean Paul Sartre’s “Nausea”; or how we can develop visual embodiments of our emotions as a catharsis on how to deal with reality.

TROPICAL ISLAND by Jeppe Kolstrup


A small film about some of the big things in life.

When is the time to settle, have kids and a partner for life? Does that commitment means you will never be able to dance or watch Game Of Thrones all night long?

In this vibrant visual poem we observe a young man and woman and hear them discuss these universal reflections. They don’t have any final answers – just a lot ‘ifs’. The frustrating beauty of life.

Film of the month by Niccolò Montanari (Founder of Berlin Fashion Film Festival) at NotJustALabel.com:
„A short film questioning the meaning of life, while appreciating and reflecting on its beauty.“

YETI Presents: Carter Andrews by Talweg Creative


A fisherman down to the DNA, Carter Andrews has no choice but to go out there and catch everything that swims. Described by a friend as a “wild man”, he does have a certain intensity about him. But you don’t have only anglers as friends unless you’re still lit up with raw joy every time a fish bites.
