The Adventure of Selika
07:00 min
Sybil H. Mair
UK
When Selika flees the comfort and safety of her home in rural France, she sets out for Paris to forge her own independent path in the world.
"The Adventures of Selika" is based on an image of Selika Lazevski, about whom little is known. The image was by Felix Nadar, renowned 19th century French photographer of celebrated people (authors, scientists, painters . . .). Curious and puzzling, I was struck by the strength and pride that exude from this image of a beautiful black woman elegantly dressed in a riding habit, believed to be an equestrian of haut dressage in 19th century France.
All The Wild Horses
90:00 min
Ivo Marloh
UK
“All The Wild Horses” follows five international riders from the USA, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and the UK as they compete in the Mongol Derby horse race in Mongolia. This multi-horse, multi-station race over a 1000 kilometers of Mongolian steppe is the longest and toughest horse race on the planet. The riders are out on their own and navigate with GPS from horse station to horse station, where they change their horses every 40 kilometers.
