*** Follow The Light (4 mins). Director: Pierre Henni, France.
Sunsets over dramatic landscapes to the illumination of hot air balloons and the warm ambience of the Middle East.
*** Ô’Parizad (36 mins). Director: Guillaume Pierrel, France, subtitles.
In the 70’s, the pioneers explored the most breathtaking mountains in the Alps and Himalayas; 45 years later, the same passion has remained intact and skiers decide to return on the trail of their ancestors. Their goal is to ski an 8,000m Himalayan giant.
*** Link Sar (18 mins). Director: Graham Zimmerman, USA.
This is the compelling story of the gruelling first ascent of a massive unclimbed mountain in Pakistan’s Karakoram range, Link Sar. Standing 7,041m tall, the mountain had been attempted unsuccessfully nine times before. Let’s see if these guys can make the top.
*** Legacy On The Muir (25 mins). Director: Max Buschini, USA.
Born and raised as a Yosemite Valley climber, Tom Herbert revisits his father's footsteps on his famous El Capitan route The Muir Wall.
*** House of The Gods (44 mins). Director: Matt Pycroft, UK.
The great northern prow of Mount Roraima soars from the depths of the Amazon rainforest like the prow of a gigantic ship, shrouded in cloud, drenched by torrential rain and guarded by vertical jungle, deep mud and overhanging cliffs. Follow Leo Houlding and team on their real-world quest through 100km of untracked jungle, into a unique slime forest and up the desperately steep big wall.
