Deeper 27mins/mun
If you like your sports on the fluffy white stuff, this one’s for you. Skiing and snowboarding movies usually fit into a bracket: arty or hardcore, this one slots right into the hardcore genre but not because it’s got banging tunes and quick cutaways. This takes snowboarding to a whole new level.
You would imagine that with a helicopter you could get to nearly anywhere however this is actually far from the case and if you want the steepest, hardest and gnarliest you have to be willing to climb it first. The results: breathtaking.
Watch it for yourself to get the full picture but be prepared to have a level of anxiety you wouldn’t normally get from sitting in a theatre!
Os ydych chi’n hoffi’ch hwyl ar y stwff gwyn, dyma ffilm i chwi.Yn arferol, ffitia ffilmiau sgïo ac eirfyrddio’n daclus i’r categorïau ‘artistig’ neu ‘eithafol’, ac mae hon yn perthyn i’r ffurf eithafol, ond nid diolch i’w drac sain uchel a’i thechnegau torri ffilm sydyn. Mae’r ffilm hon yn cymryd eirfyrddio i lefel newydd.
Dychmygwn ei bod hi’n bosibl, gyda hofrennydd, i gyrraedd bron i unrhyw fan, ond mewn gwirionedd rhaid bod yn fodlon dringo i gyrraedd y llefydd mwyaf serth, anodd a pheryglus. Y canlyniadau: syfrdanol.
Gwyliwch dros eich hunain i gael y darlun lawn, ond gallwch ddisgwyl mwy na’r lefel o bryder arferol a geir wrth eistedd mewn theatr!
Into Darkness 15mins/mun
As the title may suggest this is a caving film. It takes you into the world of the ‘frontier’ caver with beautiful imagery and some heart racing moments where you really feel you’re in that squeeze, heart thumping and pulse racing just trying to stay calm. An insight.
Fel yr awgrymir gan deitl y ffilm, mae hon yn ffilm archwilio ogofau. I fyd yr archwiliwr blaengar gyda delweddau swynol a momentau brawychus i chwi deimlo fel petaech yn y wasgfa, curiad eich calon yn cynyddu wrth i chwi geisio cadw’ch pen. Mewnwelediad.
Dream Result 17mins/mun

You’ll feel exhausted just watching this one.
Rhan o’r ‘Taith Radical Reels’, chewch ddeall pam wrth ei wylio. Doedd canŵio erioed fel hyn! Dilynwch rhai o’r caiacwyr mwyaf eithafol wrth iddynt fynd ar ôl rhediadau fwyfwy cyflym, garw a fawr, gan orffen gyda’r record byd lawr rhaeadr 189troedfedd! Byddwch wedi blino’n lân dim ond wrth wylio’r ffilm hon.
Still Motion 5mins/mun
This is a beautiful piece of work, taken from a year of study it is made up of hundreds of images of the wildlife of Alberta taken by motion-triggered cameras. From Elk to Cougar this is a year in the life of Albertan wildlife.
Dyma darn swynol o waith yn deillio o astudiaeth o gannoedd o ddelweddau o fywyd gwyllt Alberta a chymerwyd gan camerâu wedi trigro gan symudiad. O elk i lewod mynydd, dyma flwyddyn ym mywyd gwyllt Alberta.
The Swiss Machine 20mins/mun
Ueli Steck is Swiss, hence the title, he is also a world-class athlete with the record of climbing the North Face of the Eiger in under 3 hours! This film follows his journey as he works to achieve his goal, culminating in some stunning visuals as Ueli gives it his all solo on the North Face.
Fel yr awgrymir gan y teitl, mae Ueli Steck o’r Swistir, ac mae’n athletwr o safon fyd-eang sy’n dal y record am ddringo Wyneb Gogleddol yr Eiger o fewn 3 awr! Dilyna’r ffilm ei daith wrth iddo weithio i gyrraedd ei nod, gan orffen gyda gwaith ffilm syfrdanol wrth iddo roi ei oll i ddringo heb raff ar y Wyneb Gogleddol.
Eastern Rises 38mins/mun
Films that challenge your prejudices and win are films worth watching. This is a film about fishing, fishing on the Kamchatka Peninsula way out East in Russia, there are no roads to speak of, you get around in decommissioned cold war helicopters, accessing valleys infested with bears, insects and mouse eating trout. You fish rivers that have never been fished and along the way you have an experience of a lifetime. Serenely shot, this is a finely crafted, intelligent, insightful and humorous film that should be watched whether you have an interest in fishing or not.
Mae ffilmiau sydd yn herio rhagfarnau ac yn ennill yn werth gwylio. Mae’r ffilm hon yn trin pysgota ar Orynys Kamchatka yn Nwyrain pell Rwsia, ble mae’r unig fynediad yn absenoldeb ffyrdd i’w gael mewn hen hofrenyddion y rhyfel oer. Yma ceir dyffrynnoedd llawn eirth, trychfilod a brithyll sy’n bwyta llygod. Hefyd, afonau nas bysgotwyd o’r blaen a phrofiad unwaith-mewn-oes. Gyda delweddau tangnefeddus, mae’r ffilm hon yn grefftwaith synhwyrol o fewnwelediant a hiwmor dylech ei wylio pe bae gennych ddiddordeb mewn pysgota ai beidio.

The Pinnacle
Documentary, 45 Minute new edit in full HD.
Role: Director/Producer, Editor, Camera
Synopsis: A tribute to Robin Smithand Jimmy Marshall's famous week on Ben Nevis in 1960.
"In one legendary week on Ben Nevis in 1960 Jimmy Marshall and Robin Smith advanced Scottish winter climbing a full ten years. On consecutive days they climbed six first winter ascents, including the mini Alpine-route Orion Face Direct (V, 5), while also making the second ascent of Point Five Gully (V, 5) for good measure. The fact they achieved all this by cutting steps up the snow and ice appears, from the remove of the 21st century, to be almost unbelievable."
'Who's who in British Climbing' , Colin Wells
Exactly 50 years on two of the UK's top climbers, Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner, set out to repeat all the routes that Smith and Marshall climbed in that week. This climbing action is cut with some rare interviews and classic archive footage to tell the storyof this historic week for Scottish Mountaineering.

Swyddogaeth: Cyfarwyddwr/Cynhyrchydd, Golygydd, Camera.
Crynodeb: Teyrnged i wythnos enwog Robin Smith a Jimmy Marshall ar Ben Nevis yn 1960.
“Mewn un wythnos chwedleol ar Ben Nevis yn 1960, daeth Robin Smith a Jimmy Marshall â dringo gaeaf Albanaidd ymlaen deng mlynedd. Ar ddyddiau dilynol dringodd y ddau chwe dringfa gaeaf gyntaf, gan gynnwys y llwybr alpaidd Orion Face Direct (V,5) gan hefyd cwblhau ail ddringfa Point Five Gully (V,5). Mae’r ffaith iddynt wneud hynny oll drwy dorri grisiau yn yr eira a rhew i’w weld, o bellter yr 21ain ganrif, yn anhygoel.
‘Pwy ’di pwy yn Dringo Prydeinig’, Colin Wells
Pumdeg mlynedd yn union ers hynny, mae dau o ddringwyr pennaf Prydain, Dave MacLeod ac Andy Turner, yn mentro allan i ail-wneud dringfeydd a wnaeth Smith a Marshall yr wythnos hynny. Mae’r dringo llawn-gyffro wedi ei gyfuno â chyfweliadau prin a darnau ffilm archif clasurol i adrodd stori’r wythnos hanesyddol hwn i fynydda Albanaidd.
The Path of theCondor.
Synopsis: The film tells the story about the discovery trip made by an ornithologist and a paraglider pilot in search of the secrets of the andean condor´s life and flight. Lorenzo Sympson has dedicated most of his life to the study of condors and their life. He is trying, at present, to unveil which are the specific routes the condors use to fly. Martin Vallmitjana has dedicated himself to observe condors in order to improve his own flying skills in the strong patagonian air currents.
The sportsman and the scientist exchange their knowledge about the condor´s life and its flying proficiency while traveling the awe-striking landscapes of Patagonia, the background for this wonderful story of learning, adventure and conservation. Patagonia. 58mins
Crynodeb: Edrydd hanes daith darganfyddiad a wneir gan adaregwyr a pheilot paragleidr yn ceisio dod o hyd i gyfrinachau bywyd ac ehedfa’r condor Andea. Mae Lorenzo Sympson wedi ymroddi ei bywyd i astudio bywyd y condor ac mae’n gweithio ar ddarganfod y llwybrau union maent yn defnyddio i hedfan.

Mae’r chwaraewr a’r gwyddon yn cyfnewid eu dealltwriaeth o fywyd y condor a’i hyfedredd hedfan wrth deithio tirluniau syfrdanol Patagonia, cefndir i’r stori ryfeddol hwn o ddysgu, antur a chadwraeth. (58 mun) Patagonia.

Mazungu (LLAMFF Films 2) (Ffilmiau LLAMFF 2)
In 2008, I became the first person in history to Canoe the 2922 mile long Congo River, in Central Africa from the source to sea. It took me 5 months, alone, with no outside help what so ever. The eighth longest river in the world, with a flow rate second only to the Amazon, along the way were crocodile and snake infested swamps, angry hippos, uncharted territory, waterfalls and rapids too numerous to mention, malaria, hostile locals but also incredible hospitality from a proud and brave people long forgotten by the Western world. On the whole the people were incredibly friendly, and I only had to get my machete out twice, to prevent myself being robbed.
I was awarded a 'Winston Churchill Memorial Trust' fellowship and grant, along with the '2008 Mike Jones Canoeing Award', and was presented with my medal by the Duchess of Cornwall, who specifically asked for a copy of my book when it comes out.
My film of the trip is a finalist in the 'Vancouver International Film Festival'.
I've served as a Royal Marine Commando in Artic Norway, the jungles of Borneo and Iraq. Other jobs include ski guide in the French Alps, Overland Expedition leader in Africa, Asia and the Middle East, armed security officer protecting Archaeologists from Grizzly bears in Alaska, and an Outdoor Pursuits & Outward Bound instructor in Wales. 20mins.
Yn 2008, fi oedd y person gyntaf yn hanes i ganŵio’r Afon Congo, yn 2922 milltir hir o’r tarddiad yn y Congo Canolog i’r môr. Cymerodd pum mis, ar fy mhen fy hun, heb unrhyw gymorth allanol o gwbl. Dyma’r afon wythfed hiraf yn y byd gyda'i chyfradd llif yn ail ond i’r Amazon. Ar hyd y ffordd ceir corstiroedd llawn crocodeilod a nadroedd, afonfeirch blin, tiriogaeth ansiartredig, rhaeadrau a dyfroedd gwyllt rhy niferus i grybwyll, malaria, bobl elyniaethol a hefyd lletygarwch anhygoel gan bobl falch a dewr eisoes wedi eu hanghofio gan y byd Gorllewinol. Ar y cyfan, roedd bobl yn hynod groesawus, a fu ond i mi orfod estyn am y twca dwywaith i’m hatal rhag lladrad.
Derbyniais wobr cymrodoriaeth a grant y ‘Winston Churchill Memorial Trust’ a hefyd y ‘2008 Mike Jones Canoeing Award’, a derbyniais fy ngwobr gan Dduges Cernyw, a ofynnodd yn arbennig am gopi o’m llyfr pan ddaw allan.
Mae’r ffilm o’r taith yn finalist y Vancouver International Film Festival.
Roeddwn yn Môr-Gomander Frenhinol yn Arctig Norwy, jyngl Borneo ac Iraq. Mae profiad arall yn cynnwys gwaith fel tywyswr sgïo yn yr Alpau, arweinwr Alltaith Dros Dir yn Affrica, Asia a’r Dwyrain Calon, swyddog diogelwch arfog yn gwarchod archeolegwyr rhag eirth brith yn Alaska ac yn addysgwr Outdoor Pursuits & Outward Bound yng Nghymru.
