Olivier Favresse

Olivier Favresse features in a compact set of expedition films that tie him to the Belgian sailing‑and‑climbing projects led by Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll and guided by captain Bob Shepton. Across Vertical Sailing Greenland, The Adventures of the Dodo and Asgard Jamming, Olivier is part of crews that treat small boats and long walks as the necessary work of reaching unclimbed granite.

The films mix sea passage, iceberg dodging and long portages with sustained big‑wall effort. Vertical Sailing Greenland follows the route from Upernavik toward Cape Farewell and the so‑called Impossible Wall; The Adventures of the Dodo returns aboard the Dodo’s Delight to find virgin faces in Greenland and on Baffin Island; Asgard Jamming records an extended overland approach to Mount Asgard, emphasizing endurance — 45 days out and 600 kilometers covered on foot are part of the story. The catalog’s recurring disciplines — trad, big‑wall and alpine, presented as documentary — locate Olivier within the hands‑on, self‑shot tradition: crews who film themselves improvising music, managing weather delays, and climbing remote granite with a minimum of support.
