Alpine Camera Austria 2016

This film, awarded with the “Kamera Alpin Austria”, surely has given as much pleasure to the filmmakers when shooting the film, as to the audience when watching it. Its high-standing and creative camera work communicates the features which mark this film: originality of landscape and culture, and a delicate, self-ironic joy of the unexpected in alpinism. This film is a subtle statement against the constraint to always deliver top-level performances. One does not always need eight-thousand meter peaks, extreme difficulties, blown-over high camps and frostbitten toes in order to feel oneself intensively. Sometimes, already an excessive snowfall, which does not respect either the travelling or shooting schedule, is sufficient. We congratulate the filmmakers for their journey to the Balkan, to where “the mountains are still wild”. We truly would have loved to stay with them.
