MOUNTAIN
Saturday 14 October, 8pm
Sunday 15 October 4.30pm
Official Selection 2017 NZ International Film Festival
The film considers the changes in humanity’s relationship to mountains over recent times. Not so long ago they represented the divine and mysterious; to many indigenous communities living on their flanks they always will. By the time Hillary and Tenzing ascended Everest, mountains had been colonised by the west and filled our imaginations as personal challenges to be overcome. Spectacular images, shot in 21 countries by legendary mountaineer/ cinematographer Renan Ozturk (Meru, Sherpa) and others, have been cut together thematically to an orchestral score drawing on Chopin, Grieg, Vivaldi, Beethoven and new works by Richard Tognetti.
