If you're trapped in the big smoke, aka London, 27 April is the
date when the best of the Kendal Film Festival comes to the Royal
Geographic Society for an all day orgy of film, plus a lecture from
Thomas Huber and the world premiere of the film shot on the second
ascent of the Ogre some 25 years after the epic Bonington/Scott and
company first ascent.
There are full details here
on the Film Festival web site, but one film we'd personally recommend
is La Grande Cordee - 'follows Partrick Berhaut's remarkable climbing
enchainment of the entire alpine chain from Slovenia to the French
maritime Alps between August 2000 and March 2001, taking in a few
classics like the Walker Spur in winter and the north faces of the
Eiger, Matterhorn and Cima Grande en route.'
It won the best climbing film at last year's Kendal Festival and
is a sweeping, gently beautiful film that exudes a quiet joy and
shrugs sweetly at mountain machismo. Morning and afternoon sessions
£5, evening sessions £7.50 and all day £7.50.
Telephone 0207 591 310 for tickets.
