The secret Kirghizistan
Filippo Salvioni (2015)
The film takes us, together with Luca Schiera and Matteo De Zaiacomo, to a remote and little-known country. 'But there are only two of you'? This is the question that a Russian expedition made welcoming the two youngsters in the valley of the Big Wall. With the satellite that they only took at the top of the walls, and therefore practically useless, Luca and Matteo lived a real adventure, of great alpine value (the 'usual' alpine style in free and visible climbing on the Big Wall that Luca also searched for and found in Oman, Patagonia and of course at Uli Biaho with Matteo Della Bordella and SIlvan Schupbach) and at the same time of great human depth for contact with the locals.- 2015

Segni
Michele Caminati (2015)
A highly anticipated short film that Michele Caminati is making with Simone Pedeferri, set in Val Masino and Val di Mello, between the extreme lines of granite climbing and the drawings of Simone. Simone had already 'undermined' his talent as a painter with his climbing, when in 2005 he composed paintings and drawings for the texts of Fabio Palma, which were included in the book Letters of Sosta. Now this trailer tells us that the signs he wanted to put on a sheet of paper are linked precisely to its extreme lines, those numerous 8c and 8c+ that never repeats anyone or almost anyone, and that they follow incredible aesthetic lines dictated by the granite of the valley.- 2015

La conquista del Buckland
Carlo Mauri (1966)
In 1966 it was Carlo Mauri who again organized an expedition of the Ragni di Lecco (Mauri, Ferrari, Alippi, Giudici, Machetto and Pirovano) for the ascent of Monte Buckland. On February 6th the summit was reached. Their route departed from Bahía Encanto through the western slope of the mountain, up a narrow gorge to the glacier at high altitude and from there up the southwest face leading to the summit. A huge crack in the glacier would have stopped them just before the goal, if Ferrari had not discovered, after a long search, a small passage to the wall of the summit, which they covered in a southerly direction up to the highest point.- 1966
