Yet more mountain film information with a heads-up on the 27th Dundee Mountain Film Festival
which runs from Friday 27th to Saturday 28th November 2009. The
festival boasts an impressive programme of international speakers,
award-winning films and exhibitions and is based at the University of
Dundee's Bonar Hall.
Main attractions at this year's event include Catherine Destivelle, the
French climbing legend, on her third appearance at the Festival, with
her new presentation 'From Bouldering to Mountain Climbing', on Friday
evening.
James Pearson, England's 'E' Exponent Extraordinaire', appears on
Saturday afternoon, with his lecture 'Motivations and Milestones of a
Mild Mannered Man from Matlock'. Scotland's own Polar Explorer, Craig
Mathieson, presents his talk entitled 'Some like it Cold', on Saturday
evening, when there will also be a tribute to Irvine Butterfield, who
died earlier this year.
There's lots more besides including award-winning films from the Banff
Mountain Film Festival and, inevitably. Al Lee's film of Andy
Kirkpatrick and Ian Parnell attempting the first winter ascent of Torre
Egger in Patagonia.
