WINNER – BEST DOCUMENTARY – BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL!

Straight from the 2021 Telluride Film Festival, this new feature documentary unveils never-before-seen footage of legendary oceanographer Jacques Cousteau.

For this extraordinary and immersive documentary, two-time Oscar nominee and two-time Emmy winning director Liz Garbus poured through 550 hours of archival material, giving audiences an inside look at the life of the explorer, filmmaker and beloved adventurer many of us grew up watching, but know little about.

Garbus and Cousteau are the perfect paring – two trailblazing filmmakers who explore their subjects with depth, complexity and empathy.

As the sport of climbing turns from a niche pursuit to mainstream media event, Marc André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free spirited 23 year old makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Marc André’s approach is the essence of solo adventure. Intrigued by these quiet accomplishments, veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer ( The Dawn Wall ) sets out to make a film about Marc André. But the Canadian soloist is an elusive subject: nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let the film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. As Peter struggles to keep up, Marc André’s climbs grow bigger and more daring. Elite climbers are amazed by his accomplishments, while others worry that he is risking too much. Then, Marc André embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing.

DIRECTOR: Peter Mortimer, Nick Rosen
