Sfinga
Gregor Kresal (2011)
On the north face of Triglav, the highest peak in the Julian Alps, there is a giant wall known as The Sphinx. Daunting and imposing, it has stirred the imagination of Slovenian climbers for centuries, and is included itself as a character in this dramatic feature-documentary. With dizzying heights and sharp angles, this film recreates the heroic efforts of the first team to climb the Sphinx in 1966, and more recently, highlights the wall's first free climb. On the summit, the generations come together in a Who's Who of Slovenian mountain culture.- 2011
