Type 1 Fun: Exploring the relationship between outdoor sports and Type 1 Diabetes. (25 Minutes)
An ultrarunner, a climber, a surfer, an alpinist, two paragliders and a filmmaker enjoy the outdoors in different ways but share similar challenges. Type 1 diabetes has long been misunderstood and they’re here to change that.
Type 1 fun stemmed from the filmmaker’s personal experience and a curiosity on how others manage their diabetes within their chosen sport. The film aims to highlight remote outdoor sports in diverse environments—such as water, air, earth, rock, and snow—and examine how each one affects diabetes management.
By sharing fun experiences and stories of success with type 1 diabetes in outdoor sports we hope to encourage those with T1 to access the UK’s natural landscapes and strengthen their self-belief, self-reliance and independence that are inherently learned in these environments.
Girl Climber (83 Minutes)
Follow elite mountaineer Emily Harrington as she sets out to conquer Yosemite’s El Capitan in under 24 hours – one of the most demanding and dangerous ascents in the world.
A five-time US National Champion and one of climbing’s most accomplished athletes, Emily has summited Everest and the planet’s highest peaks. But this challenge is about more than the mountain – it’s about proving that greatness knows no gender. In a sport long dominated by men, she faces the ultimate test: the wall, the clock, and her own limits.
Featuring breathtaking cinematography and appearances from Alex Honnold (Free Solo), Girl Climber flips the script on the traditional climbing documentary – an emotional, edge-of-your-seat journey that’s as moving as it is heart-stopping. Against the majestic backdrop of Yosemite, Emily’s story becomes a portrait of courage, resilience, and what it truly takes to break barriers.
