Bachar: Man, Myth, Legend
USA, 2005, 51 min
Directed by Michael Reardon, Produced by
In every sport there are men, myths and legends. In the world of rock climbing and free soloing without rope, there is only one name that fits all three – John Bachar. Controversial and uncompromising, Bachar pushed the boundaries of what was possible and raised the world’s standards at a time when climbers merely pursued the physical in climbing. A true rock star as a teenager, he soloed 5.11 when 5.12 didn’t exist, created the first 5.12 in Yosemite Valley, bouldered harder, climbed stronger, and refused to compromise his ethics along the way. Then, at the height of his fame, he disappeared. This is his story...
Director Michael Reardon
Michael Reardon has been a writer, director, and producer for more than a decade. Previous films that he has been involved with include “Cabin Fever” and “Casper’s Haunted Christmas”. In between films, Michael spends his time traveling and climbing.

Balancing Point
USA, 2005, 6 min
Directed by Danny Brown, Produced by Sensei Studios
Balancing Point is a short film that is played entirely in reverse and involves the "reverse destruction" of balanced rock sculptures. The movie is intended to be a manipulation of gravity and time though the simple effect of reversing the film. And although the film is played in reverse it appears that the man who is doing his magic is going forwards in time.
Director Danny Brown
“I shot it all in four months while finishing up my degree as a digital art student. The movie was filmed with a lower end DV digital camera. During this four month time period I spent hours and hours making rock sculptures and filming myself destroy them. I shot 95% of the film by myself without a tripod and used about 1/10 the footage shot. Sometimes I would create little rock sculpture tripods for the camera. Often times balancing the camera was harder then balancing the sculptures I was filming. I edited around 20 different drafts of the film, one- because I wanted it to have the most relaxing and hypnotizing feel I could create, and two- because it was just plain fun to edit. I strove to put my energy into a film that helped it's audience to achieve a sense of relaxation and to give them a chance to better connect with the beauty and flow of nature and gravity. I really found great motivation and inspiration while making this film. As with all things I practice, I did so to give thanks to my wonderful circumstances in life and health. I try and hold true to this every day by working and practicing as hard as possible on whatever it is I may be trying to evolve at. It is my hope to one day create a film that is so meditative it gives its viewers a sense of enlightenment.” [DB]

Cesarino and the Colours of Life
Italy, 2005, 69 min
Directed by Tiziano Gamboni, Gianluigi Quarti, Produced by Federico Jolli
Cesarino Fava was born in 1920 in Mal é, a small village of Trentino, Italy. The tenth of eleven children, he objected to fascism and militarism by culture and character. After five years in the war as a private, and five years of work on the Brennero Pass as a forwarding agent, he decided to emigrate. He was hired as an engineer on a cargo ship and got off in Buenos Aires in 1952.
In the Argentina of Peron, Cesarino handled dozens of different jobs, but above all was able to pursue his great love of mountaineering. He founded the Alpine Club of Argentina and went off to explore the remotest summits in the Andes. During a fateful ascent on the Aconcaqua, Cesarino was trapped for several days and nights on a mountain wall in a violent blizzard while trying to save the life of a North American climber. A severe case of frostbite resulted in both of his feet being partly amputated. This misfortune did not deter him from continuing to pursue his climbing.
After the serious economic crisis which brought Argentina on its knees, Cesarino returned to Malé and to his paternal house. Today he lives there with his wife, supplementing his meager pension by giving lectures. In 2001, Cesarino, then 81, opened a new grade 4 and 5 way to the summit of Ambiez in the Brenta Dolomites, with a group of young alpinist friends.
The film follows Cesarino as he returns to Buenos Aires and Patagonia after seven years of absence. It also relates his emotions, his memories and enthusiasm and, above all, brings to light his incredible and infectious vitality.
Director Tiziano Gamboni, Gianluigi Quarti
Tiziano Gamboni has been working at the Cultural Department of the Swiss Television (TSI) since 1976, producing documentary films and cultural information programs. He made several documentary films on the arts.

Poland, 2005, 26 min
Directed and produced by Miroslaw Dembinski
Janusz Orlowski is a 79-years-old man full of energy and zeal from Poland. There wouldn´t be anything special about it, except that he flies. He is a paragliding pilot.
The paragliding culture is quite colorful, and obviously the young and energetic predominate. The frail, old man doesn´t really fit here.
Flying is Janusz´s passion. When he is in the air nothing else matters, he is just happy.
Paragliding demands health, agility and staying in good shape, and the Grandpa consequently overcomes all the limitations related to his age. The younger friends usually help him when he is in need, when trips or falls over, but it doesn´t discourage him. Janusz says he will always fly, but with one difference: In the future he will fly to the land with no gravity, with no everyday problems, without any effort.
Director Miroslaw Dembinski
Miroslaw Dembinski is the most awarded Polish mountain film maker. He started working as an independent film producer in 1991 by establishing his Film Studio “Everest”.

Haston - A Life in the Mountain
United Kingdom, 2005, 59 min
Directed by Mike Alexander, Produced by Douglas Eadie
Haston – A Life in the Mountain analyzes the brilliant if tragically short career and tempestuous personal life of Scottish mountaineer Dougal Haston (1940-77). Haston is remembered by those who knew him best and climbed with him hardest in this absorbing, archive-rich and ultimately moving portrait.
Brought up in a working-class mill town near Edinburgh, Dougal Haston started climbing on the bridges and embankments of the local railway and graduated to Glencoe and Ben Nevis where he learned the skills that took him, via Barlinnie Prison following a fatal drunk-driving accident, to epic first ascents on the Eiger, Annapurna and Everest and international mountaineering stardom. Aged only 36, while on a skiing day-trip from his home in Leysin, Switzerland, he was killed by a freak avalanche of exactly the kind and in precisely the location from which he had imagined the hero of his posthumously published novel, Calculated Risk, escaping.
Of such stuff are legends made but in this frank, archive-rich and ultimately moving portrait of the enfant terrible of Scottish climbing Haston’s life and times are remembered by those who truly knew him the best and climbed with him the hardest, from the student friends of his tearaway youth to veteran survivors like Chris Bonington and Doug Scott.
Director Mike Alexander and Producer Douglas Eadie
Mike Alexander is one of Scotland’s most experienced and distinguished directors with international awards to his name in the fields of documentary, sport, music and drama. At least three of his films have been shown on Canadian television: The Long Sprint, following the Scottish 400 metre runner David Jenkins as he prepared for and performed at the 1976 Montreal Olympics (he lost!) was acquired by CBC; in the 90s, his music series, Transatlantic Sessions, featuring Canadians Kate and Anna McGarrigle and Michelle Wright among a host of North American, Irish and Scottish talent, was bought in a one-hour special version by Global while his Gaelic/English feature film, As An Eilean (From The Island) was screened five times by CBC following its Canadian premiere at the 1993 Vancouver Film Festival.
Like As An Eilean, Haston – A Life In The Mountains was written by Alexander’s regular collaborator, Douglas Eadie, who was on the fringes of the Edinburgh University climbing scene in the early 60s when Haston was in his tempestuous heyday there. Eadie admits, however, that “I never climbed anything more serious with Dougal than eight floors up a tower block to an English Language tutorial we mostly missed anyway.”

Inspire
Canada, 2005, 11 min
Directed and Produced by Rene Scavington
“Inspire” is a short piece displaying the le parkour culture in Vancouver, BC. Parkour is a discipline that applies efficient maneuvers for passing through, over, under, and around any sort of terrain. Practitioners of parkour are known as traceurs. A traceur will look at an area and see opportunities and pathways that are faster ways of reaching their destination than the typical sidewalks, stairs, or bridges taken by most people. Advanced traceurs condition their bodies and minds to be able to gracefully perform great leaps, and complex sequences.
Many traceurs also train in acrobatics. You’ll often see them practicing their flips and other spectacular movements in addition to their parkour training. These movements are more categorized as street stunts and shouldn’t be confused with the efficient methods of parkour.
The city of Vancouver is filled with many obstacles that are ideal for the practice of parkour and street stunts. “Inspire” is a montage filled with various choreographed sequences to show the diverse skills of local practitioners.
Director Rene Scavington
Rene Scavington is a videographer and practitioner of le parkour. Born in 1986, Rene is young and new to the festival scene. The last film festival he was featured in was for a piece he made in high school. In 2004 He was awarded 2 nd place in the B.C. Student Film Festival for his short film “Empty Hand Way”.

Kilimanjaro – Going For Broke
UK, 2005, 52 min
Directed and produced by Richard Heap, Ben Pritchard
Kilimanjaro – Going for Broke is a mountain adventure film with huge human and emotional dimensions. It’s about four great climbers who have all suffered major tragedies that have left them seriously disabled. Climbing gods made mortal, they decide to get together to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.
Jamie has no arms and no legs, half of Paul’s body is as dead as a corpse, David has never fully recovered from total paralysis whilst Pete has a broken back, one kidney & calves the thickness of a small pencil. With incredible poignancy and honesty our four heroes talk about how their lives have led up to this point in time, the pain and suffering, the doubts and the joy. All the while though, they are once again journeying in to a world of risk and danger.
After a gentle introduction, fierce blizzard conditions close in. All other trekkers are forced off the mountain and three porters die in the vicious conditions. With only 5 good arms, two good legs, a bout of pulmonary oedema, swollen stumps and a missing glacier between them our team presses on. Finally up hard, steep, snow covered terrain they attempt the summit. They begin the ascent at 1.00am and climb through the night. Paul is reduced to climbing on his hands and knees and needs the support of the whole team. If the journey to this point has been the river voyage, then the next 15 hours is their meeting with Kurtz.

Directed by Baiba Auders Morrow, Produced by Pat & Baiba Morrow
Magic means different things to different people. For Cynthia Hunt, the founder of HEALTH Inc (Health, Environment, And Literacy in The Himalayas), it´s all about empowerment of women, good health and nutrition. But this is not a simple proposition in Ladakh, in northwest India – one of the highest and driest inhabited places on earth. Cynthia routinely hikes through the rugged mountains to help foster change in isolated communities. As a passionate artist, book publisher and educator with a decidedly idiosyncratic style, she helps the illiterate village women in their efforts to form a cooperative. The pay-off comes when they undertake a perilous, four-day journey down a frozen river canyon to petition government officials for higher education in the distant capital city.

Directed and produced by Paul Bride, Matt Maddaloni, Sonnie Trotter
Paul Bride (professional photographer), Sonnie Trotter, Katie Brown, Nels Rosaasen, Lil' Jay Halowach and Matt Maddaloni (all rock climbers) explored for the first time the endless possibilities of deep water soloing in Malta during August 2005. Malta is a chain of small islands just below Italy in the center of the Mediterranean Sea. It is the 9th smallest country in the world and the 3rd most densely populated.
One might expect over crowded cities and a major lack of wilderness, but as soon as you drop over the 400 foot sea cliffs there is nothing but a vast world of sea and rock. With a small budget this crew of dirt bag climbers used inflatable kayaks to access the cliffs and camped in caves high on the limestone walls. This 25 minute film depicts their adventures of climbing up to 5.13 above raging seas and exploring the heritage of ancient Malta.
Director Matt Maddaloni
Matt Maddaloni is known for many styles of climbing with ascents of big walls in Baffin Island and Pakistan and hard long free routes in the Bugaboos and Waddington Range. Being an avid free soloist including an onsight free solo of The Becky / Chouinard in the Bugaboos, he has become
completely obsessed with deep water soloing. Enjoying a new found freedom of pushing his own limits without the consequences of a ground fall, his travels have taken him to Vietnam, Thailand and now Malta to explore this new sport. This is Maddaloni's first film.

The Obsession
Canada, 2003, 2 min
Directed and produced by David Conlon
The Obsession is an animated experiment about finding the drive in ourselves to accomplish something we thought was impossible. The story is about a rock climber who has become so obsessed with finishing a particular climb, that he has spent four straight weekends trying the climb, over and over again, each time progressing a tiny bit, but still failing at the crux move. He has become so obsessed with the climb, that it is all he thinks about, and all he cares about. Finishing the „problem“has come to mean more than just getting to the top of a boulder, it is about finishing something that four weeks ago he couldn’t even start. It’s about knowing that he and he alone is the only person that can get himself to the top. To accomplish that is more of a reward than just climbing a “hard “problem.
Technically speaking, The Obsession is a two-minute animation rotoscoped on cel with ink, and filmed on a 16mm Oxberry.
Director David Conlon
David Conlon graduated from the USC School of Cinema-Television, with an MFA in Animation and Digital Arts in May 2005. The Obsession was David's first of three films he completed at USC. David’s two other films have shown at film festivals across the country and David is currently employed at Sony Pictures Imageworks.

Parallel Addictions
France, 2005, 13 min
Directed by Andy Stiffhard, Produced by Peter Malvern
Parallel Addictions is a brief sociological examination of two forms of seemingly different addictions: skiing and heroin. The two subjects, brothers, chosen for their similar genetic and environmental histories, respond to the same set questions where they reveal their reasons for pursuing and cultivating such habits. Sometimes clear and other times not, the two addictions tend to part and converge when not expected.
Director Andy Stiffhard
Andy Stiffhard was born in one of the extinct British colonies in 1967 where he grew up in eventful circumstances until around the age of sixteen or seventeen when he realized most of what he had learnt at school, in church, and on television was mostly untrue. Naturally he ran away into the mountains and began his research on various subjects working for different organizations from time to time. His film career debut was in Sweden, but his days as a starlet soon fizzled out as he returned to the mountains again, until a wife and two screaming children brought him back to larger population centres where he now lives.

Pass me the binoculars - The Clocher du Portalet
Switzerland, 2004, 15 min
Directed by Pierre-Antoine Hiroz, Produced by Television Suisse Romande
It was 40 years ago that two mountaineering stars opened up a legendary route on the north face of the Clocher du Portlaet. Armed with an array of pitons and ladders, it was the apogee of artificial climbing. A camera was on hand to immortalize their epic climb.
40 years later, two young climbers stand at the foot of the same face with a single objective: to free climb it. They start under the astonished gaze of their elders, binoculars in hand, watching their exploit. This film takes a closer look at two generations of climbers. Although the techniques have radically changed, the passion remains the same.

Sur le fil des 4000
France, 2004, 50 min
Directed by Gilles Chappaz, Produced by Migoo Productions
On March 1 st, 2004 Patrick B é rhault and Philippe Magnin set out from Saint Christophe en Oisans for a grand tour of the Alps. Their aim was to climb, one after another, all 82 summits above 4000 metres, from Oisans to Bernina, taking in Gran Paradiso, Mont Blanc, Valais and the Bernese Oberland. It was an opportunity to explore the peaks from a different angle, climbing new routes and really getting on close terms with one another through long exposure. Bérhault and Magnin would brave the changing weather, trekking along high-altitude tracks between summits, facing the ever increasing emotional charge. The climbers had the benefit of their exceptional know-how, solid experience and proven technique, but this was nevertheless a long journey into the unknown.
On April 28th, after almost two months of climbing and hiking in the Alps, under conditions ranging from ideal to appalling, they were making their way along Nadelgrat, an interminable ridge leading up to their 67th summit. And there, destiny stepped in...
Sur le fil de 4000 (Walking the line at 4000) tells the story of two climbers, scaling peak after peak on a quest that combines idealism and pleasure with their love of the mountains and their friendship.
Director Gilles Chappaz
Gilles Chappaz was born in Chamonix in 1952. He has been chief editor of many mountain or sports magazines in France (Montagnes Magazine, Vertical, Ski Francais, Aerial, and Rider). He has made a dozen mountain films, both feature and documentaries, for The French television channel "France 3".

Tracking the Soul
Germany, 2004, 24 min
Directed and produced by Matthias Thönnissen and Christopher Klotz
“You're in there for a couple of minutes maybe. But in your head it goes on for hours, you see? Sometimes you just can't get enough of it...and then... you always want to be like this.” A camera team accompanies two young and reckless cross-country skiers. The whole winter they are on the search for their perfect tracks, traveling through the Alps in a run-down bus. In the end they’ll have found out about what it means to dedicate everything to a single cause, how to treat their souls faithfully and how long can one survive on canned tomatoes and instant hot chocolate.
Someone called this film „the mother of all narcissistic and superfluous outdoor-films“. There’s deep wisdom in these words. Others say it’s just a parody. And it’s about skiing. In a way.
Director Matthias Thönnissen
Christopher Klotz is a film editor, but he recently developed additional virtuosity as a visual effects artist. Matthias Thönnissen does some editing, some directing, some writing, and some whistling of long forgotten tunes. They both really like all the people who are into cross-country skiing, but they prefer other forms of physical exercise.

When It All Goes South
Canada, 2005, 24 min
Directed and produced by Steve Ogle and Mark Tinholt
On October 1 st, 2004, three friends from Western Canada put their skills to the test and embarked on a trip to the infamous Southern Patagonia Icecap. This wasn’t the typical jaunt up the back of Fitzroy, but rather an exploratory mission to an area near the Reichart Pass — where few have tread. Now we know why. After a month of skiing, our heroes ended up escaping with tails frozen between their legs. After crossing a lake with a home-made raft, circumnavigating impassable icefalls, and enduring a never-ending storm, they finally escaped via the “highly broken” Perito Moreno Glacier.
Directors Steve Ogle and Mark Tinholt
Mark Tinholt and Steve Ogle are best buddies who live in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. Before their expedition to Patagonia, they had been on several other ski and adventure trips together, although none amounted to such an odyssey as their time on the icecap. Mark purchased a video camera about three days before leaving for South America, and so it was a learning experience all the way from day one. They now feel like “experts” in recording and editing, but they know that is far from the truth.
Since things got more than a bit out of hand while trying to escape from the icecap (ie. survival became more important than filming), Mark lacked a bit of footage to make the story complete. Thus, he incorporated some of Steve’s still images into the blend, to allow a comprehensive tale to be told. Although the footage might come across as comical in places, it is worth noting that the situation was not always under control, and that the team was lucky to get out in one piece. For this reason, the video and memories have special meaning to the boys.
For now, Mark and Steve will go on with their lives – as an environmental engineer who finds time in the evenings for personal projects, and as a biologist and photographer who scrapes a living in the backwoods. Until the next adventure...
One final note about music: the directors would like to commend their talented friends who donated their wonderful recordings to the cause. They gave the video some soul.

Wild Fire
Canada, 2005, 10 min
Directed and produced by Sean Isaac
The Bugaboos are a world-renown alpine rock climbing paradise in the Eastern part of British Columbia. Since the exploratory days of Conrad Kain, climbers come to sample the range’s classic routes; however, much potential for amazing new routes exist for those willing to search. Matt Maddaloni and Sean Isaac are two of Canada’s leading alpinist. “Wild Fire” is about their hard new free route on the previously unclimbed northwest face of Wide Awake Tower located on the relatively remote ”backside” of the Bugaboos. When they established the difficult line in 2003, they graded the crux 5.11d; however repeat attempts to free the route have been unsuccessful and the grade has been upped to 5.12. Hard climbing, stunning scenery and humorous basecamp antics illustrate the amount of work and passion that goes into establishing a difficult new route on an alpine big wall.
Director Sean Isaac
Sean Isaac is a leading Canadian mixed climber and alpinist from Canmore, Alberta known for adventurous first ascents around the world. He enjoys the challenge of shooting video while engaged in the rigours of alpine climbing.
