Homo Montserratinus
Samuel Colomer (2016)
The documentary 'Homo Montserratinus. A story about human involution' proposes two ways of conceiving climbing, traditional and sporting, and deals with safety and how to relate to the environment. Shot in Montserrat, understood as a great referent of climbing and with the testimonies of different generations of climbers, it aims to reflect on the ethics, fear or risk of an activity that has historically been debated between these two disciplines.- 2016

L'altra cara de la forca
Oriol Garcia Farré (2008)
Historic recreation of the first ascension of the north face of El Pedraforca (a mythical mountain in Catalonia) after three failed attempts by Lluís Estasen and company, in 1928. It is a history of perseverance; of wanting to experience the stranger, and of courage; of risk and conviction; of personal accomplishment and, also, of teamwork. It is an example of how the combination of strength and intelligence; of youth and experience; of shared and shared knowledge is the best guarantee to successfully overcome any challenge and to overcome the fear of the abyss that separates what is old from what is new.- 2008
