synopsis
La Nuit de la Glisse 2025 invites you to a unique evening featuring two complementary films, united by a single quest: the pursuit of the perfect moment.
The evening opens with Chronicles of a Wild Decade, a tribute to the 2010s through the personal archives of Thierry Donard, who revisits a pivotal decade for action sports. From the steep slopes of Mont Blanc to the monstrous waves of Teahupo’o, through the fjords of Northern Europe and the icy rapids of Norway, this film retraces the total commitment of a generation of athletes who redefined the limits.
In the second part, Free Birds dives into the present alongside young riders pushing the boundaries of their disciplines. Snowboarding in the polar night of Norway, XXL surfing in Nazaré, precision speedriding in the Alps, aerial wingfoiling on Oregon’s rivers—each sequence is a blend of freedom, aesthetics, and mastery.
Two eras, two perspectives, one enduring passion.
