    Abenteuer am Abgrund

    Abenteuer am Abgrund

    Inka Blumensaat (2018)

    Climbing and mountaineering were not promoted by the West Germany regime at the time - not least because the often unadapted and adventurous athletes were not suited to the ideal of 'ambassadors in tracksuits'. In the Elbsandsteingebirge near Dresden the scene meets, the rocks are ideal for climbing. But anyone who has climbed the most difficult walls here dreams of new goals. And some make their dreams come true despite all the restrictions in the country. Bernd Arnold was a celebrity in the climbing scene in the DDR era, he even became known beyond the borders of the socialist state. He is responsible for hundreds of first ascents. In the 1970s and 1980s he broke the scale of difficulty and also impressed mountaineering legend Reinhold Messner.

    The Himalayas

    The Himalayas

    Brando Quilici (1994)

    This is the story of the conquest of Everest and what that achievement has meant to the world. We see climbers who have conquered the mountain and those who have died in the attempt. We meet the Sherpa people, examine the science of mountaineering in high altitudes, hear from expedition leaders and team members throughout their journeys, while cameras capture every peril along the icy peaks. Viewers will be reminded that Everest is a world of illusion, a world that becomes hostile in seconds, with vicious winds and man-killing ice shifts.
