An extremely personal style that, over the years, has made her one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary documentary cinema, particularly in the fields of nature and mountaineering.
TENZINGUnited Kingdom , Australia , United States, 128 min Director: Jennifer Peedom Based on true events, Tenzing chronicles the little-known story of Tenzing Norgay, a gifted Himalayan climber who, alongside New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, was the first to summit Mount Everest. Where Western climbers see Everest as something to be conquered, Tenzing reveres Chomolungma as the sacred mother goddess. What follows is an ascent defined as much by the tensions between social backgrounds, classes, and competing ambitions as by the perils of the mountain itself. But high above the world, empire, rank, and aspiration fall away, leaving two outsiders bound by mutual respect and trust. |

Euskalduna Bilbao - 12 dic 17:00 - MendiTalk: PREMIO WOP MENDI FILM 2026 / In Unison / Nanga Parbat - Echoes of SisyphusMENDITALK: WOP MENDI FILM AWARD 2026Alishah Farhang Alishah Farghang will receive the 2026 WOP Mendi Film Award. Having trained abroad and enjoyed a privileged upbringing, he decided to return to his homeland, Afghanistan, out of love and a commitment to his people. He returned with a dream: to turn the mountains and skiing into a means of promoting health, leisure, happiness and gender equality in a society that was depressed and weighed down by conflict. He brought a new way of living and experiencing life to the mountains of the countryside, and through them, to the people. However, the return of the Taliban forced him to flee the country with his family after being singled out for his “revolution”. Today he is a refugee, a number, almost anonymous in Europe. He is waiting to be able to return to his homeland to continue pursuing his dream. This award aims to pay tribute to those silent heroes who, even in the face of adversity, continue to imagine a better future for their community. Because there are people who leave their mark through the peaks they reach, and others through the lives they help to uplift. Alishah Farghang undoubtedly belongs to the latter group.
IN UNISONFrance, 33 min Director: Davina & Sébastien Montaz-Rosset INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE One story, two destinies... A virtuoso pianist and cellist, Arthur chose the dizzying heights of great rock faces over concert stages, pushing the boundaries of modern climbing and mountaineering. His twin brother Alexandre, a talented climber who remained in Paris, followed a different path, gradually drawing their worlds apart. Until one slightly crazy dream: to climb an iconic summit together and let their cellos resonate there. High above, music and mountains bring their paths together again and renew the bond of brotherhood.

The goal is the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, the highest wall in the world. They are traveling expedition-style, installing fixed ropes and setting up high-altitude camps, until David sets out alone and reaches an altitude of 7,200 meters. “That opened my eyes—everything can be done more easily, faster, and more effectively.” Breaking with the traditional style of ascent is David’s first step on his own path.

As reluctant filmmakers, they question what it all means and unabashedly keep the cameras rolling. In turn, we get a glimpse into their singular, bold, endearing, and mullet-denying approach to life. After Gardner’s death in 2024, while attempting Jannu East with Sam, his friends set out to finish the film as he had originally intended. “It’s not going to be a climbing film,” Michael had insisted. Maybe it’s a rom com? YERUPAJÁSpain, 50 min Director: Marc Toralles, Bru Busom, Rubén Sannmartín EUSKADI PREMIERE No fixed ropes. No outside support. No easy way back. This documentary chronicles Marc Toralles, Bru Busom, and Rubén Sanmartín’s groundbreaking first complete traverse of Yerupajá, the iconic giant of Peru’s Huayhuash Range. Opening a new 3,000-metre route on its vast east face, they carried out one of the most remarkable achievements in modern alpinism, a feat that would earn them the coveted Piolet d'Or. |
