FILM LINE UP

OUT OF THE BLUE:

Out of the Blue is an original independent film not previously released. It combines climbing, slack lining and circus arts in a truly unique and visually stunning film that captures the very essence of “vertical life”.  The film has an original score by rising talent Josue Vergara.

A THOUSAND WAYS TO KISS THE GROUND:

Thousand Ways To Kiss The Ground is an exploration into grief and its expression through the stories of individuals who have experienced loss or trauma due to climbing or alpinism. Made in collaboration with the Climbing Grief Fund, this artful compilation of interviews highlights how there is no singular or correct way to grieve. Indeed this topic is complex, vulnerable, confusing, non-linear, and absolutely imperative to the health of all of our communities. The process of openly grieving, both alone as well as in community, is an art nearly lost in our culture.

Cast: Alex Honnold, Tommy Caldwell, Brette Harrington, Lynn Hill, Jesse Huey, Jordan Roskelley, Angela Vanwiermeersch, Kitty Calhoun, Chris Kalous, Matt Segal, Jim Thomsen, Sky Yardeni, Guilia Luebben, Silvia Luebben, Kestrel Hansen-Neathawk, Chelsea Rude, Sam Elias.

VALHALLA:

The film follows a climbing party that attempts a route of the same name.  It is a remarkable film carefully crafting the story of a father and son climbing team that weaves its way across the longest and hardest roof to date in an exotic location in Getu, China.

LUCY STIRLING: OLYMPIC DREAM:

Lucy Stirling has climbed things since before she could walk. At age 12 she started in the climbing gym and quickly joined a junior squad. Since then she has not stopped climbing!

In 1970, the Miss World competition took place in London, hosted by US comedy legend, Bob Hope. At the time, Miss World was the most-watched TV show on the planet with over 100 million viewers. Claiming that beauty competitions demeaned women, the newly formed Women’s Liberation Movement achieved overnight fame by invading the stage and disrupting the live broadcast of the competition. Not only that, when the show resumed, the result caused uproar: the winner was not the Swedish favourite but Miss Grenada, the first black woman to be crowned Miss World. In a matter of hours, a global audience had witnessed the patriarchy driven from the stage and the Western ideal of beauty turned on its head.

Starring: Kiera Knightly, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jessie Buckley, Leslie Mansville, Rhys Ifans and Greg Kinnear.
