this is one great film . the mountain climbing sequences are very impressively done and extremely well photographed . tracy is amazing as the righteously moral brother and his performance is nuanced as to not make it a caricature which could have easily happened in the type of character he was asked to portray . wagner has the more showy part as a villainous egomaniac , willing to do anything - even commit murder - to make his dreams of wealth come true . i love films that deal with mountain climbing such as the clint eastwood film , the eiger sanction , but this film even beats that one !

every year , mountainfilm hosts over one hundred special guests , including speakers at the moving mountains symposium , guest presenters , filmmakers , film subjects , judges , panel participants , artists and other luminaries . feel free to browse through our rich archives to see some of the previous personalities who have graced mountainfilm stages .
mountainfilm is more than a film festival . we select over 100 films each year from around the world , and curate them alongside guest presentations , our all - day symposium , parties , scheduled conversations , outdoor programs , book signings and musical events . the result is a four - day event like no other .
not far into the film there is a scene so incredibly terrifying and mind - blowing , depicting the pointlessness and cruelty of war like only the opening of saving private ryan managed so far . from there , we follow the beginnings of a love story in flash backs while law is trying to make his way back to kidman from war . the people he encounters and situations he has to endure are incredibly dire and pessimistic , leaving little space for hope . the film is very beautifully shot and the story is engaging even through some slower parts . whether you like the ending or not is for each to decide , i suppose .
the audience creates an additional , parallel , soundtrack , with collective gasps , sighs of relief and , when the feats of daring verge on implausible , incredulous laughter ( footage of the mountain biker danny macaskill on scotland’s cuillin ridgeline has everyone guffawing ) .
peedom begins the film in black - and - white , with the members of the australian chamber orchestra limbering up at the sydney opera house , where mountain premiered last week . that ' s the last we see of them , with editors christian gazal ( sherpa ) and scott gray ( top of the lake ) cutting to elevation before a string is plucked . in a queasily transporting sequence that had the sydney audience holding its collective breath , the camera swoops in on a free climber ( without ropes ) scaling up a sheer cliff face , and our proximity to him is vertigo - inducing .
despite being 91 , jack’s memory of life behind barbed wire is vivid . he was a young man when he was sent to cody , wy . having just tied the knot , he jokes that they honeymooned at heart mountain . he’s the father of darrell and dale .
the film ' s fragments are held together by the score , which sometimes works in interesting counterpoint to the images , undercutting awe with horror . the aco collaborated with jonny greenwood a couple of years ago but largely resist ambient atmospherics here , favoring violin , piano , cello and vocals with a composite score that burnishes images of extreme risk - taking without sacrificing delicacy .
where sherpa – peedom’s bafta award - nominated 2015 documentary – was a critique of the everest industry in which local guides take disproportionate risks for wealthy and thrill - seeking foreigners , mountain is an unashamed tribute to the western adventurers who are willing to risk their lives climbing the world’s great heights .
patti hirahara’s father and grandfather had a secret dark room under their barracks . in the years they were imprisoned , they took thousands of photos of camp life . the hirahara photo collection tells the story of heart mountain through pictures . thanks to patti for sharing this important collection with the world !
awed and attracted . he is one of the most aggressive and talented freeskiers of our age . born and raised in the bc backcountry , with a bloodline alive with adventure and a style carved from the landscape itself , kye petersen is about to blow the doors off of big mountain skiing .
only three centuries ago , setting out to climb a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy . mountains were places of peril , not beauty , an upper world to be shunned , not sought out . why do mountains now hold us spellbound , drawing us into their dominion , often at the cost of our lives ? mountain is a cinematic and musical collaboration between acclaimed director jennifer peedom ( sherpa ) and the australian chamber orchestra ( aco ) , one of the greatest chamber orchestras in the world . shot by the world’s best adventure cinematographers and written by best selling author robert macfarlane , this feature documentary will explore the troubled and triumphant history of our timeless fascination with mountains .
a four man team sent from headquarters to repair a comm station suddenly falls into a terrorist ambush on the peaks of a mountain . two conscripted turkish soldiers , one an educated , wealthy young man , the other a coarse street smart ruffian , have to put aside their differences and learn to trust each other to survive an unforgiving situation .
fearful yet fascinated . numinous explores the relationships and connections with the natural world that are necessary to safely dance with mountain faces covered in snow . tuning out and tuning in . shot exclusively in british columbia , numinous follows kye and a cadre of fellow snow - sliders into the heart of the some of the most aesthetic and demanding landscapes around .
wow ! ! ! stunning footage , genuinely excellent . narration solid and timely . the first frames sum up the whole film - ' those who dance are considered mad . . . by those who cannot hear the music
i wish i couldnt hear the music ! ! ! ! it is so bad i lasted 12 minutes and 29 seconds . if this was released with no music and narration only it would probably be very very good . i am genuinely dumbstruck
an orthodox jewish woman living in a vast cemetery on jerusalem’s mount of olives struggles with her husband’s lack of interest in her in yaelle kayam’s subtle , handsome “mountain . ” impressively balancing the predictable ( has rat poison ever been used just on rodents ? ) with the unexpected , the first - time feature writer - director weaves a complex portrait of a constrained life , [ … ]
renan ozturk , the high - altitude cinematographer who worked on sherpa , is back behind the camera , with his footage making up more than 60 % of the final cut . the archive of the canadian production house sherpas cinema is also mined , with the end result providing astonishing vision of mountaineers , ice climbers , free soloists , speedflyers , heliskiers , snowboarders , wingsuiters and parachuting mountain bikers .
mountain briefly revisits territory trodden by sherpa , with footage of hundreds of climbers in a cold - climate conga line to the everest summit . “this isn’t climbing , it’s queuing , ” dafoe intones as we see an oxygen - masked climber revel in his moment at the peak as those behind him wish he’d hurry the hell up . breathtaking footage of the 2015 avalanche that hit everest base camp and killed 22 people , many of them sherpas , reminds us that “the most risks [ are ] taken by those who have least” .
the peaks in mountain are both irresistible and formidable : snow cakes on sunlit heights like lashings of whipped cream ; climbers huddle in a tent swinging on a sheer rock face , waiting out a blizzard as avalanches thunder around them ; mountaineers celebrate their arrival at a peak by passing around a joint ; a rock climber plummets , his body slamming against the cliff like a flailing spider - man ; a lone hiker’s fist punctures the sky upon arrival at a summit ; a stranded australian climber whimpers , “oh god , take me home . ”
“mountain” constantly upends expectation , turning tzvia into an ever - more intriguing character without the pretense of getting inside her head and making her all - knowable . since she’s a religious woman , it’s presumed that the tome she silently reads from in the cemetery is a prayer book : instead , it’s poetry written by a woman buried there . her fascination with the prostitutes and their work may seem unusual for an orthodox woman , but kayam is specifically forcing auds to question such assumptions : why is it unusual for a woman , any woman , to be interested in sex ?
a small turkish army squad are left to guard a field antenna on a border mountain . it suddenly falls to an ambush from isis . it ' s a heroic story of two soldiers trapped in the ambush , fighting for their lives . there ' s an interesting and humorous interplay between an educated , wealthy young man , the other a coarse street smart ruffian . in a series of backstory flashbacks we learn more about their lives and their digs . the protagonist is very reminiscent of the young ' taylor ' from the oscar winning epic , platoon . they put aside their differences and learn to trust each other to try and survive an unforgiving situation . the landscape is beautiful and tension is moderate as we await their pickup .
klein has an open , kindhearted face that effortlessly conveys sympathy of character ; it’s impossible not to like her , especially when itay marom’s camera casts her in a naturally golden glow . subtle shifts in lighting , from warm to a cooler white , effectively capture changes in mood , and the sense of place is expertly caught in both lensing and art direction . from the view of al - aqsa mosque ( the temple mount ) through the kitchen window , to her daily awakening by the sound of the muezzin’s call , the pic ensures that viewers are reminded of where they are , in a no man’s land ( or rather , a dead man’s land ) caught between multiple religions . equally palpable , via such images as a striking nighttime shot of tzvia holding a flashlight and walking up the tomb - filled hillside , to the cavern - like interiors of the family home , “mountain” conveys the sense of a living woman entombed .
a vast cemetery on the slopes of the mount of olives is the striking setting for yaelle kayam’s subtle , handsome debut feature .
her name is tzvia ( klein ) , or at least that’s what she tells a drunken prostitute one night , well into the drama — otherwise , no one ever utters her name . she’s mother of four , wife to yeshiva teacher reuven ( avshalom pollak ) , and she spends her days with housework in their home surrounded by the ancient cemetery spread out over the mount of olives . a devout woman with her head always covered , tzvia is starved for adult company , since reuven’s job often keeps him away until past dinner time .
two hasidic women ring her bell after a funeral , asking if they can use her bathroom ; their brief conversation allows the script to quickly convey background information in an organic way without coming across as didactic . clearly tzvia would like to move from this isolating locale and be a part of a community , but reuven’s job is earning him ever - increasing recognition , and besides , he’s not paying attention to his wife’s needs on any level . pushing their beds together doesn’t help , and about the only time she sees him now is when he’s performing early morning prayers .
frustrated by the lack of company and tired of largely being cooped up inside all day , she strolls the cemetery ; one night she sees a prostitute servicing a client . another evening she takes a pair of binoculars and realizes there’s quite a business going on at one end , with several pimps overseeing a few alcoholic whores . when she’s discovered , the pimps rough her up , but the next night she brings them food — it’s a bizarre arrangement for everyone , yet they maintain a wary silence , allowing her to sit by and observe .
outside her family , the only regular human contact she has is with abed ( haitham ibrahem omari ) , the palestinian caretaker of the cemetery . he’s consistently courteous and respectful , while she’s self - conscious not only because he’s a man but also ( it’s implied ) because he’s palestinian . he opens up to her at one moment about his own loveless marriage , yet she’s unable to consider him a kindred spirit . it’s easier , perhaps , to risk a hesitant association with a drunken prostitute , even though she’s humiliated by her .

festival director suzan beraza said the lineup will offer new ideas from big thinkers , stories from old and beloved friends of the festival as well as stories the mountainfilm audience hasn’t yet heard .
i realized that my experience with mountainfilm since the early 2000s only scratched the surface of an organization that already had deep roots in the world of climbing , mountaineering and exploration .
while the annual festival and world tour occupy a lot of mountainfilm’s focus and energy , they are not all that we do . these initiatives also inspire us throughout the year .
mountainfilm is dedicated to educating and inspiring audiences , but another motivation underlies our mission : we want to help promote action toward positive change . one way to do that is to facilitate involvement between mountainfilm audiences and important causes .
grants are awarded to filmmakers , photographers , artists and adventurers whose projects are intended to move audiences to action on issues that matter .
education is a primary element of mountainfilm’s mission . we accomplish this in three ways : tour education , festival education and regional outreach . the very nature of our programming — eye - opening adventure , environmental and cultural documentary films on contemporary issues — educates students by simply presenting exceptional content to contemplate , study and explore .

willem dafoe narrates this feature doc about the seductive power of mountains from ‘sherpa’ director jennifer peedom .
the impressionistic narration credited to peedom and macfarlane locates the rise of cities as the point at which recreational climbing began , driven by a desire to reconnect with nature . a quick history lesson follows , with footage of early alpine tourists snowplowing down gentle inclines , and hillary and tenzing glimpsed briefly . their courage is contrasted , in a capsule version of the argument peedom made in sherpa , with that of everest - goers in 2017 , who depend on the disproportionate risks taken by the local sherpa population . today ' s adventurers don ' t climb , dafoe tells us — they queue .

i saw only one body bag flash across the screen in this masterful documentary – a cinematic and musical collaboration between the director of sherpa , jennifer peedom , and richard tognetti’s australian chamber orchestra .
but from the opening shot of a spreadeagled ( and , astonishingly , smiling ) alex honnold , hundreds of metres up mexico’s el sendero luminoso without a rope , the stomach rarely leaves the mouth .
“as everyday life becomes safer for some , we seek out danger elsewhere , ” he suggests . “you never feel so alive knowing that any minute you could die . ”
high altitudes are “a space where time warps and bends and sensations are thrillingly amplified … [ it ] induces in us forms of insanity and forms of grace . ”
“mountains are so much more than a challenge , or an adversary to be overcome , ” macfarlane reminds us after a sobering close - up of an active volcano .
“mountains humble the human instinct … restore our wonder and challenge our arrogance . more than ever we need their wildness . ”

inman , a civil war confederate soldier , is seriously wounded in battle before heading home to north carolina to his pre - war beloved , ada . in his absence , ada - - with the help of a young drifter named ruby - - is desperately trying to hold onto the farm of her deceased missionary father . inman ' s long journey home takes him through the crumbling confederacy , as he meets people of all walks of life who want to both aid and hinder his mission .
cold is right - - anthony minghella ' s pretty , star - studded adaptation of the bestselling civil war romance never makes it above freezing .
it ' s enough of a spectacle to enjoy . it ' s too bad the stars are little more than serviceable and give the movie title an irony it could certainly do without .
minghella ' s movie is stern and lucid for the most part and immensely enlivened by the presence of zellweger and hoffman who bring amusement to their roles .
there are minor merits . mostly handsome production values , to mingehlla ' s screen version of the acclaimed novel .
only renee zellweger maintains a southern accent in this laughable attempt by director anthony minghella (
the english patient
) at filming charles frazier ' s love story set amidst the turmoil of the civil war .
charles frazier ' s distinctly american take on the personal ravages of the civil war and what small hope may be salvaged from it ' s incalcuable wreakage , gets lost somewhat in this curiously foreign view of his simple yet elegant piece ( why are all the principals from overseas ? were there no americans with vision or chutzpah enough to take this on ? ) we are left then with the shoestring romance of two lonely strangers separated by war who endeavor to overcome its apparent difficulties and return to each other ' s side . this is capably performed , undoubtably , yet the ghost of frazier ' s intent is manifest by its absence .
this world won ' t stand long . god won ' t let it stand this way long .
producer lorenzo di bonaventura has hired a very impressive cast including josh brolin , jeff bridges , andie macdowell , jennifer connelly , and taylor kitsch . ( imdb has a full list of the cast . )
the producers behind a movie about the elite firefighting team that lost 19 members in a 2013 arizona wildfire assure the story focuses on the firefighters’ dedication , not the way in which they died .
the movie will be filming in santa fe , los alamos and several other cities in new mexico through early september . it is slated to open in theaters in september 2017 .
producer lorenzo di bonaventura said the plot will focus on eric marsh , who led the crew , and brendan mcdonough , the only surviving hotshot crew member . he said it will not focus on tragedy or the exact details of the fire .
“this movie is about the lives of these people and what they were trying to put on the line , and what it meant to them to do what they were doing and what it meant to the community to have them doing it , ” he said .

schroeder says that the best advice she ever received was , “if you have the slightest doubt about the take you just did , do it again . and again and again until it feels right . ” she could do with a little more implementation of the words of wisdom .
performances as a rule are methodical , with a pregnant pause before each piece of dialogue . the star pairing of french actresses does no wonders , and the two children go through the motions systematically , without any ‘wows’ anywhere .

born in luxembourg , laura graduated with a masters in film studies at the university of paris 1 – sorbonne and a postgraduate diploma in directing at the national film and television school , london . after several self - produced films , she writes and directs the short films
mother and daughter ( real life isabelle huppert , 64 , of the disappearance of eleanor rigby and lolita chammah , 34 : story of women , farewell , my queen , cherry pie , in their third joint foray together ) are shown grappling with loneliness and sorrow , in turns , and , often , simultaneously . having made this point early on , the film then refuses to make progress to anything more substantial . dazzling trees and attractive lake / dam visuals do not compensate for the lack of a solid script .
the film got funded by the luxembourg film fund , as well as the belgian wallimage .
worth a mention is the scene where they talk about the name agathe ( agate / agatha ) and the several occasions when alba practices her exercise regimen , including a back rest - bent knee position , which is repeated a couple of times . another impressive bit of cinema is the ambivalent way in which the girl and her mother react to the accidental death of her pet dog . in the end , all added - up equals exquisite ennui ( french for boredom ) . exquisite , but , boredom , nevertheless .

- in which reality mixes with fantasy and family ties constrain rather than bringing people closer - is a symbolic passing of the baton . unlike her protagonist , who is sensitive to even the slightest mistakes , huppert retreats into the background .

barrage would perhaps make an interesting short story . as a film , marie nimier and director laura schroeder’s script is only mildly so . schroeder uses techniques like illustrating her dialogue after one or two shots of the first visual and framing her lens leaving out articles of reference , which are revealed only a scene or two later . such tropes give the film a superficial art - house film ambience .

following a 10 - year absence , catherine ( lolita chammah ) returns to her native luxembourg to rebuild a relationship with her nearly 11 - year - old daughter alba ( themis pauwels ) . alba barely can remember her mother - not to mention her struggles with addiction - as she was replaced long ago by her stern grandmother , elisabeth ( isabelle huppert ) , who does not believe in her daughter ' s sudden transformation . this time , catherine has no intention of giving up . the similarities between the actresses in laura schroeder ' s film are no accident , as she cast a mother and daughter in the main roles . isabelle huppert and lolita chammah have been on film sets together before , having both appeared for the first time together in claude chabrol ' s

lukang artist village was remodeled from the old japanese dormitory complex in lukang . it was once a space for everyday living . the complex stretched northward from downtown lukang to lukang culture center , a scheduled ancient monument of changhua county where the brick - paved lanes by its sides lead southward to lukang old street . northern to the lukang culture center locates a cluster of rich cultural heritage of the town , including the nanjing temple , the new ancestral temple , the thean hou temple , and the ri - mao shop . these heritage sites are important to the local history as well as the valuable assets for tourism . joining the efforts of changhua county government and lukang township office , the historical context of the place was integrated in the mapping of cultural infrastructure and the restoration . it then gave birth to the lukang artist village where a platform is built upon for exhibitions and performances while recognizing the importance of local culture and humanities . in addition , the artist village vitalizes the place with arts and creativity , and further sets the keystone for a prototype of art - culture center .
the programs that lukang artist village currently runs include visual arts exhibitions , art and cultural activities , air program , and hold exhibitions and outreach programs of arts and culture . through hosting artists from different parts of taiwan and the world , we hope to initiate dialogues and exchange opinions through art . we look forward to the fresh perspectives that foreign artists would share with the local communities . with the diversity of lukang’s traditional art and craft , its historical sites , as well as architectural heritage styles ; we hope it to become a more holistic and international oriented artist village . the air applications are accepted once a year and are reviewed by a jury panel . the long - term resident artists could request for extension on a yearly basis and the decision will be made by the jurying panel .
applications will be reviewed by a jury panel which includes lukang township office representatives as well as external professionals .

a documentary following the preparations for the 15th anniversary performance by the snow white entertaining troupe ( 白雪綜藝劇團 ) , an amateur troupe that has established itself as a nonpareil of local drag shows . the four men who are at the center of the show , all have daytime jobs , but when it comes to celebrating 15 years behind the footlights , they take every aspect , from the shade of eyeliner to the choreographing of the light show , with the utmost seriousness . the enduring popularity of this drag show provides unexpected insight into normally conservative taiwan , and although there is something of the behind the scenes concert movie about it , prima donna is much more about being , and expressing , who you are .
beasts of the southern wild has elicited words like “wondrous” and “magnificent” from critics , many of whom regard it as one of the best films of 2012 . the heroine , hushpuppy ( quvenzhane wallis ) , is destined to be an icon of young adult culture together with the likes of kaitness everdeen of hunger games and princess mirida of brave . hushpuppy lives with her father wink ( dwight henry ) in a small community at the end of the world . when wink contracts a mysterious illness , nature flies out of whack , temperatures rise , and the ice caps melt , unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs . hushpuppy has to be strong to face these dangers as she embarks on a journey to find her mother . the flood of contemporary hot topics , from climate change to the importance of family might prove too much for some , but the film manages to avoid the worst pitfalls of moralizing tales .
