  • Screening of the documentary film ‘Running Towards New Horizons’

    Electrical Engineering, Media and Computer Science

    Concerns/Category: 

    Dokumentarfilms „Running Towards New Horizons“
    Dokumentarfilms „Running Towards New Horizons“

    Dear students, dear colleagues,

    Imagine running around 170 kilometres non-stop. Not on the road, but along mountain trails, through forests and over mountain passes, with an elevation gain of around 10,000 metres, through the night and without a break. That is trail running in its most extreme form. And that is precisely what the UTMB around Mont Blanc is – the most famous race in this sport.

    In 2024, a runner from Ecuador finished third there, becoming the first Latin American ever to reach the podium. His name is Joaquín López. Most of you have probably never heard of him.

    For my Master’s thesis, I followed him for a year to find out how someone gets that far. The answer surprised me: there was no miracle and no talent that fell from the sky. There was simply a person who started at some point and never stopped. “Running Towards New Horizons” is a film for anyone who sometimes doubts themselves. Filmed in Ecuador and Spain, produced in Japan and Germany.

    📅 Thursday, 5 November 2026, 11.00 am to 12.10 pm

    📍 Room 211, EMI Faculty, OTH Amberg-Weiden, Amberg campus

    11.00 am: Film (36 mins, original English version)

    11.45 am: Q&A and discussion

    Do come along, bring your friends – I look forward to seeing you!

    Best regards,
