Peter Moser
Matteo Mocellin (2017)
There are mountaineers who are on everyone's lips, good, very good. We also know a lot of them, good, very good. But Peter Moser has something special, something that even stronger makes us say good, very good. His story has a lot to tell but what we like most is his definition of himself as a mountaineer and mountain guide, and farmer. In this film Peter is linked to another pop mountaineer: Roberto Bassi from Zanzara and Labbradoro.- 2017

The long way
Cory Richards (2011)
The story of the first winter ascent of Gasherbrum II, in 2011, by Simone Moro, Denis Urubko and Corey Richards, narated in five streaming episodes. Over the past 26 years, 16 expeditions have tried and failed to climb one of Pakistan's 8,000 meter peaks in winter. In February 2011, Simone Moro, Denis Urubko, and Cory Richards became the first to achieve this alpine dream by summiting Gasherbrum II, surviving -50 degree temperatures and a massive avalanche. Richards captured both the glory and the pain of their adventure in this raw and moving, first-person look at modern super-alpinism.- 2011

Kunyang Chhish East - First ascent
Milena Holzknecht (2014)
Hansjörg Auer, Matthias Auer and Simon Anthamatten set off for a great goal: the Kunyang Chish East. With its 7.400 metre this summit belongs to the highest still untouched mountains on earth. The challenge is not only physical. They do not know what will be awaiting them in the higher walls, except altitude and cold. Bivouacs on isolated snow mushrooms or in crevasses, in order to be protected against the masses of the falling new snow, constitute a big mental challenge. The way to the summit requires a high capacity for suffering in all areas.Kunyang Chhish East - First ascent

Hansjörg Auer - No Turning Back
Damiano Levati (2017)
Probably no one has explored solo climbing like Hansjörg Auer, whose memorable feat on the 'fish route' has forever marked the history of this very peculiar kind of mountaineering. 'The hardest thing to do when you're doing free solo,' says Hansjörg, 'is not the ascent. It is to go back home.' Why? Because when loneliness strips you naked you understand the importance of the relationships you build with people around you. 'No turning back' is an introspective and epic film, delicate and powerful: there is not only vertical life, there is not only performance. There is an all-round discovery of what makes a life worth living.Hansjörg Auer - No Turning Back

The waiting game
Emilio Previtali (2013)
Questions without answers, one after another. Sleepless nights, days of planning, study and research, always with the same question in mind. Where in the world is it still possible to find unexplored areas? Where is it possible to leave the first tracks in the snow? Where can you enjoy the greatest isolation? Is there a place where you can be yourself without compromises, away from everything and everyone, counting only on your own resources? If you are looking for such a place and you also want the best climbing there are not many possibilities left.- 2013
