Featuring a selection of award-winning films from the 2015 Festival including K2: Touching the Sky (Best Feature-length Mountain Film), Operation Moffat (Special Jury Mention) and A Line Across the Sky (Best Film, Climbing).

K2: Touching the Sky - In the summer of 1986, several dozen alpinists from all over the world met to climb K2. Very soon the season transforms into a series of tragic events called “black summer”, leaving 13 climbers dead. Almost 30 years later the children of acclaimed alpinists, who died on K2,undertake an expedition to answer the question: what is the price of passion.

Operation Moffat - Operation Moffat takes inspiration and wit from the colorful climbing life of Britian’s First Female Mountain Guide Gwen Moffat. Writer Claire Carter and Filmmaker Jen Randall scramble, swim and barefoot climb through Gwen’s landscapes, grappling with her preference for mountains over people, adventure over security, wilderness over tick lists.

A Line Across the Sky - Long considered impossible, coveted by many and attempted by a few, the Fitz Traverse has fueled the imaginations of climbers in Patagonia for decades. Tracing the iconic skyline of Cerro Fitz Roy and its six satellite peaks, it spans four miles and 13,000 feet across snow and ice-covered rock, with epic route finding and endless rapelling. Seizing their chance during a rare extended weather window, Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold went big. The pair completed the first ascent in a five-day push during February 2014.

Suitable for age 14 and up.

Presenting Partners: National Geographic and The North Face.
