11:00	Euskalduna Bilbao - 06 dic 11:00 - MendiTalk: (HISTORIAS) BAJO CERO Euskalduna Jauregia MENDITALK: (STORIES) BELOW ZERO Juan Vallejo Few climbers survive a fall from a sheer rock face. Juan Vallejo is one of them. But survival came at a price: multiple fractures, countless surgeries, metal implants, and the very real possibility that he would never climb again. As he begins a long and uncertain recovery, one question lingers: can a climber live without the mountains? From his hospital bed, Juan retraces a lifetime of adventures leading up to the accident. The Pyrenees, the Himalayas, the Karakoram, Patagonia, Yosemite, Peru, Greenland... landscapes and memories intertwine with the stories of some of mountaineering’s greatest figures, including Juanito Oiarzabal, Alberto Zerain, Edurne Pasaban, Mikel Zabalza, and Alberto Iñurrategi. A moving reflection on resilience, identity, and the enduring call of the mountains.

Through her preparation, training sessions, and the quiet moments that come before competition, the film approaches Joyce Njeru not only as an elite runner, but as a person shaped by her culture, determination, discipline, and a deep connection with the terrain. ALONE IN ANTARCTICA South Korea, 48 min Director: Kim Youngmi, Kim Jeeyoung EUSKADI PREMIERE Kim Youngmi's expedition marks the fourth solo crossing of Antarctica and the first by an Asian. For 70 days, she ate, slept, and walked in total isolation. Yet she says nothing is carried out alone, crediting others' prayers and encouragement with carrying her across 1,786 km.

DENBORAREN IBILALDIA Spain, 43 min Director: Aitor Intxaurraga Arana INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE A documentary journey that narrates a long and demanding trek through 50 peaks over 1,000 meters high in the Gorbea Natural Park, Basque Country, and that links the physical challenge with the memory of the land.

Even more so when you are a woman, raised in a traditional and religious society within the Islamic Republic of Iran, and forced to pursue your goals without any form of support. Parvaneh has always organized and carried out her expeditions in a completely self-sufficient manner. Throughout her mountaineering career, she has overcome countless obstacles that go well beyond the mountains themselves, stemming from her position as both a woman and an independent alpinist. In addition to climbing many six- and seven-thousand-meter peaks, she has summited five eight-thousanders, becoming an inspiration and a role model for many people in her country, especially women and young people.

Building on recent achievements by women in endurance sports, this event will explore the menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause, and their effects on training. It will also examine experiences of motherhood in climbing and mountaineering, the challenges of balancing childcare with mountain activities, and the social and economic conditions, including sponsorship, that enable women to continue pursuing these activities.
