Individual Film Details
WIDE BOYZ
Paul Diffley & Chris Alstrin | UK | 48’
Two English climbers explore the world of off-width crack climbing, completing a brutal two year training regime before attempting the first ascent of Century Crack – the worlds hardest off-width. The climbing is tough, painful and bloody.
CAPETOWN
Ben Barden & Rin Colombi | UK | 8’
A fascinating look at one of Cumbria’s oldest pastimes: Hound Trailing (canine athleticism at its best and no hunting involved!) Running in her first season, much is expected of the young dog, Capetown.
THE OLD BREED
Rufus Lusk & Freddie Wilkinson | USA | 24’
“Getting to the top matters”. So says 50-something Mark Richey as he prepares to climb Saser Kangri II; at 7,518 metres the world’s second highest unclimbed mountain. The limits of physical health and will power are pushed to the edge as we experience the monumental risks involved in being the first to climb a peak.
THE WARRIOR
Skip Armstrong | USA | 9’
What are you willing to fight for? Growing up on the North Shore of Oahu, surfing was Christopher Peterson’s life. He fought for his place in the sport, but when his grandmother asked for his help he left the islands and surfing to experience another life thousands of miles from any ocean waves.
CHASING WATER
Pete McBride | USA | 18’
From source to sea, we follow the Colorado River in this intimate look at the watershed that traverses 1500 miles and drains seven States.
CROSSING THE ICE
Justin Jones | Australia | 44’
Two Australian adventurers dare to tackle the perilous journey across Antarctica to the South Pole and back again, completely unassisted. So far many have tried, but all have failed.
