BLUE FILM PROGRAMME

109 Below
14 minutes
The story of an extraordinary rescue attempt. On Mount Washington, renowned for the worst weather in North America, two climbers get lost in a blizzard. Despite savage conditions and sub-zero temperatures, elite rescue volunteers go out of their way to help these strangers. The attempted rescue not only changes the course of the climbers’ lives, but also the lives of the rescuers trying save them, forever.

A Team Sport
16 minutes
Ultra-runner Courtney Dauwalter is one of the greatest athletes in the history of the sport, and she’s testing the limits of body and mind even further. Courtney has challenged herself to tackle three iconic 100-mile races back-to-back in one summer, including the legendary Tour du Mont Blanc. A Team Sport explores how Courtney sees herself as the latest rung in a long ladder of women redefining the boundaries of trail running.

Of A Lifetime
44 minutes
It’s the ultimate adventure destination. Of A Lifetime follows three extreme skiers and snowboarders as they sail across the notorious Drake Passage to ride the unimaginably steep, icy lines of Antarctica. Set against the breath-taking backdrop of the White Continent, the film also highlights a poignant passing of the adventure baton to the next generation.

Ian
8 minutes
Ian Elliott is a rock climber from Queensland who’s at the top of his game – aged 72. Defying age stereotypes, Ian’s technical skills, strength and endurance shatter societal norms and highlight the extraordinary potential of older athletes.

Reel Rock: Jirishanca
32 minutes
Alpinists Josh Wharton and Vince Anderson attempt a free ascent of the Jirishanca, an epic 6,000-metre peak in the Peruvian Andes. The duo will have to tackle 5.13 face climbing, horizontal ice roofs, technical mixed terrain and treacherous snow mushrooms as they reconcile the inherent risk of climbing with their love of alpine adventure.

2 Legs is 2 Easy
6 minutes
Mountain town culture is all about highlighting adventurous achievements and inspiring others to push their limits in their outdoorsy lives. In Colorado’s Rocky Mountains, one resident stands out as an inspiration to many. Steve Karczewski has never known what it’s like to have two legs, but that hasn’t prevented him from doing anything and everything he’s ever wanted as an outdoor athlete.
