The weather conditions and topography make skiing here particularly demanding and often extreme. This unique community of skiers is Matthew’s favorite subject.

This film showcases the extraordinary vision of a group of skiers (Aurélien Lardy, Vivian Bruchez and Jules Socié) engaged in a fascinating but extreme exploration of Monte Fitz Roy, in Argentine Patagonia. It is all immortalised through the gaze of Matthew Tuft, an admirer of El Chalten, village at the foot of the massif, populated by a community that allows visitors to experience a truly immersive adventure, embracing nature and local culture at the same time. Painting the Mountains is a work that goes beyond a simple sports documentary. It is a poetic exploration of the relationship between man and the mountains, art and adventure.
