19th FGA: Meeting with Marcin Matuszny: FREERIDE STORY: From Canada to India, or how to travel the world with a bicycle in a cardboard box + screening of the film 3 Peaks

17:00 Meeting with MARCIN MATUSZNY

MARTIN MATUSZNY

MTB rider, freerider, explorer and man for whom mountains are above all a space to discover, create and experience adventure. Professionally academic teacher, passionate about mathematics, project manager and president of the FOR EVENT Foundation. To his credit, he has started and won downhill competitions in Poland and abroad, as well as participation in the biggest cycling events in the world. However, competing against time became only part of a larger adventure for him. Equally important are travel, discovering new places, looking for your own lines and building routes that allow you to discover familiar mountains anew.

During the meeting, Marcin will talk about the mountains seen from a slightly different perspective - about looking for adventure, discovering new places, building your own routes and why sometimes it is worth going off the main path to find something really special.

17:40 3 PEAKS

dir. Marcin Matuszny, Przemysław Szczygieł | Poland | 6 min

3 PEAKS is a cinematic journey through three mountain peaks and many lines, where speed meets adrenaline, and every meter of the route leads deeper and deeper into the heart of the mountains. Żar, Mosorny Groń and Palenica show three different faces of driving, from flow, through stones and roots, to flights of several meters and fast, uncompromising descents.

3 PEAKS is the raw energy of the mountains, the speed and the bike captured up close. 3 PEAKS is a film that not only allows you to see the descent, it is a story with a picture that allows you to feel it firsthand.
