Daughters of Everest
Award Winner - Best Film on Climbing
|
Directed & produced by Sapana Sakya & Ramyata Limbu
In 2000, the first-ever expedition of Sherpa women to climb Everest was organized. This documentary gives a close-up account of the expedition. Although the Sherpa people are legendary for their unmatched skill in mountaineering, Sherpa women are discouraged from climbing Everest, relegated instead to support roles in the climbing industry of Nepal. Told from a woman's perspective rarely seen on Everest — or off — this film is both a dramatic, inspiring Everest story and an absorbing portrait of the Sherpa community.

Out of Ophirica
|
Directed by Judah Kuper

Sinners
Award Winner - Best Film on Mountain Sport
|
Directed & produced by Bill Heath
Coupling the wisdom of 100-year-old physicist A.J. Snow with three years of filmmaking in deep, deep British Columbia snow, Nelson filmmaker Bill Heath created a simple work that speaks to his own love of powder. The music, the joy and the beautifully patient photography make us aware of the exquisiteness of the gasping-forair moments that only come from the deep and the light.
