Torsdag och Lördag kväll 20.00-21.00 kommer vi att visa filmer från Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. Dessa filmer har vi valt ut för Fjälffest detta år:
As it Happens
USA, 2010, 16 minutes
Directed and Produced by Renan Ozturk and Corey Richards
Classification: General - coarse language
Focus: Mountaineering
Renan Ozturk and Corey Richards "go rogue" and file video dispatches from their attempt at the first ascent of Nepal's 6,000 meter Tawoche Himal. The film takes these individual pieces and ties them together in one well-made story that lets a challenging trip unfold as it happens.
AZADI: Freedom
Canada, 2010, 30 minutes
Directed and Produced by Anthony Bonello
Classification: General - no advisory
Focus: Skiing, Mountain Culture
AZADI: Freedom takes a look at Kashmir in the wake of the violent militant insurgence of the 90s through the lens of skiing. The unique role that skiing is playing in rebuilding tourism in Kashmir is explored using cinematography, animation and story of local characters. The film crew explores the future presented to young Kashmiri as they venture into the mountains - on backcountry skis. The world’s highest skiable gondola sits amid the most militarized region in the world, yet the freedom of adventure is drawing foreigners back to this former Shangri-La.
