Two of the most acclaimed climbing films of the year, Max Lowe’s “Torn” and The Alpinist, from Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen, have taken big awards at this year’s Kendal Mountain Film Festival, hel…
Another coveted trophy, the best climbing film award, went to “They/Them,” directed by Blake McCord and Justin Clifton. Whereas the spectacle of advanced climbing in the sandstone canyons of northern Arizona is enough on its own to wow an audience, the filmmakers wanted to portray Lor Sabourin as an individual who explores their motivation and builds resilience in the face of adversity.
“Freedom Swimmer,” from Olivia Martin-McGuire, won the best creative director award with, like “Torn,” another strong family theme – the story of a father’s swim to freedom in Hong Kong to escape the Cultural Revolution in China. In “After Antarctica,” from Tasha Van Zandt, the best adventure and exploration prize winner, polar explorer Will Steger reflects on his life as an eyewitness to the greatest changes in the polar regions of our planet. After a lifetime of landmark expeditions across both poles, no one alive has seen more of the polar world.
