Race Around The World recap: Catch this week's films

Race Around The World recap: Catch the week four films

This week, each contestant made an appearance in their film. (ABC/Race Around The World)

The six young filmmakers taking part in ABC iview's Race Around The World are approaching the halfway mark of their global adventure.

Only finding out their destination the day before they leave, each contestant has just 10 days to find a story and produce a short film, which will be assessed and judged by a panel of experts.

But we also want your two cents. From survival vaults in Norway to a pianist in Pisa, check out every week four film, choose your favourite, and find out where they're headed next.

Take part in our audience poll at the bottom of this page, or save the scroll and click here.

Next week, all of the contestants travel to the same country to catch up, marking the season's halfway point.

What's it about? Mikaela tries not to get indoctrinated into a new-age religious town in regional Brazil.

Where is she headed next? Japan

What's it about? After learning that owning a gun is the only way to stay safe in the USA, Jayden goes on a journey to buy a gun of his own — for safety.

Warning: This one includes some coarse language.

What's it about? There's a worldwide dating crisis – but in Taiwan, one little man under the moon has a plan.

Warning: The language is a little spicy in this one.

What's it about? William talks to a pianist in Pisa and learns a little something about making art.

What's it about? Buried deep inside the Arctic mountains of Svalbard lies a vault designed to survive the collapse of civilisation.

Note: This poll doesn't determine the results of the show.

The poll will close on Friday, July 3, at 4:00pm.

Describe yourself in three words: Artistic, poetic, magazine.

My motto for Race Around The World is: Art is subjective. Not everyone is going to like your film, so as long as you make something that you're proud of, it doesn't really matter if people don't like it.

One item that's making the suitcase no matter what: Wired headphones. There's too much travel to rely on a charged set of AirPods.

My greatest fear while overseas is: Having luggage go overboard and get wet. With all our filming gear, water is really hard to recover from.

Describe yourself in three words: Chaotic, introverted extrovert.

My motto for Race Around The World is: I always liked this saying in Portuguese, "Viva como se fosse morrer amanhã", which is like, live as if you will die tomorrow. I think you just need to enjoy every day.

One item that's making the suitcase no matter what: My glasses, but I'll lose them. I've lost three pairs of glasses in the last month.

My greatest fear while overseas is: Something happening to people that I love while I'm away.

Describe yourself in three words: Easy-going, lively, passionate.

My motto for Race Around The World is: I think this one's actually plagiarised from the big man David Attenborough, but if people don't care about something, they won't protect it, and people won't care about something they can't see.

One item that's making the suitcase no matter what: My long lens. It's a really long, stupidly heavy, big thing that no one in their right mind would want to carry when you're running around to 10 different countries.

My greatest fear while overseas is: Getting to day nine and a story having completely fallen through, or if I shot a full story with someone, and then I'm ready to submit it, and for whatever reason, the person in the story pulls the pin.

Describe yourself in three words: Bubbly, curious, unconventional.

My motto for Race Around The World is: YOLO [you only live once].

One item that's making the suitcase no matter what: A necklace that means a lot to me, that's my talisman.

My greatest fear while overseas is: The logistics. I dread not getting sleep.

Describe yourself in three words: Curious, Wollongong, humorist

My motto for Race Around The World is: Water off a duck's back.

One item that's making the suitcase no matter what: My nan's ring, that would be my lucky charm.

My greatest fear while overseas is: A misunderstanding would be really dreadful. Being Australian, I feel like we have a very good sense of humour, but it can also be a little bit different. You don't want people to think you're making fun of them, but that's sometimes how that can be interpreted.

Describe yourself in three words: Content, introspective, disorganised

My motto for Race Around The World is: Have fun.

One item that's making the suitcase no matter what: My Nintendo Switch.

My greatest fear while overseas is: My reputation for being a machine learning engineer getting tarnished by the fact that, I don't know, maybe I say something about not wanting to do it when really, I love my job.
