July 1956: like every summer, the actor and cellist Maurice Baquet temporarily deserts the stage and the cinema studios to go to Chamonix where the mountaineer Gaston Rebuffat is waiting for him. A few days later, the two men achieved a historic first, that of the south face of the Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m), a magnificent wall rising like a rampart above the Vallée Blanche. July 1988: to pay tribute to the memory of his friend Gaston, now deceased, Maurice Baquet once again climbed this wall suspended between heaven and earth with the man who, 50 years his junior, is considered one of his best contemporary mountaineers: Christophe Profit.
Debate Team is a documentary exploring the weird subculture of competitive college debate. Competitors battle at 360 words per minute, hauling around mountains of evidence called "cards" and nearly every debate ends in global nuclear annihilation. In 2005, some 200 teams converged on San Francisco State to compete in the National Championship. The documentary follows four teams, from Michigan State, Harvard, West Georgia, and Berkeley in their quest for the national title. What emerges is not simply the chronicle of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, but a more disturbing examination into the nature of competition itself and the American fetish with championships and champions.

Coming off the back of a disastrous 2022/23 season, Chelsea will be hoping for a fresh start this season under the management of Argentine Mauricio Pochettino. With no European football to look forward to, the focus will be firmly on the league and domestic cup competitions as an influx of exciting young footballers such as Christopher Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson will look to combine with last seasons signings of Mykhailo Mudryk and Enzo Fernández. With a number of experienced players leaving the club, hopes will be high that 2023/24 will start a turnaround in fortunes and goals - the latter being so sorely lacking last season.
