EDINBURGH MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL George Square Theatre. Edinburgh, Fri 8-Sun 10 Oct.
With the release of the brilliant 2003 film Touching the Void, the rather specialised sport of mountaineering came to the forefront of popular consciousness. The heart stopping tale of Joe Simpson and Simon Yates' attempt to climb Siula Grande in Peru brought many people much closer to clinging onto the side of a mountain than they ever imagined. Undeterred, Yates has continued climbing across the globe and will be retelling some of his experiences at the Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival. The weekend of short films, covering everything from extreme skiing in Chamonix to climbing in Morocco, is complemented by some great speakers including hardcore Scottish climber Dave McLeod and South Pole explorer Andrew Cooney.
Last year, the annual award for the best film was presented to snowboarder Paul Raistrick, who captured himself descending a series of steep gullies by positioning his camera in the snow. This year he returns with more of the same, showing off the Scottish mountains at their most exhilarating. ‘lt‘s a shame that Scotland doesn’t get more adventure sports films made about it,‘ he says. ‘It’s a great location that is really accessible - you can get up on the slopes and out in one day.’ Raistrick first started snowboarding for fun, but gradually began to set his sights on slopes with no lift systems, and it is this sense of adventure that inspires his movies. ‘I think the best thing about this film festival is that it really shows people what is possible and what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.’ (Rachael Street)
