Pierre Mazeaud, la vie en face(s)
Gilles Chappaz (2013)
Pierre Mazeaud has managed to unite three of his passions which seem to have nothing in common, at a very high level: mountaineering, jurisprudence and policy. The Everest mountaineer, rescued from the Freney Pillar, the passionate jurist, the former sports minister, privy counsellor, and president of the French Constitutional Court is a charismatic personality. This sensitive film portrait follows a line, which Pierre Mazeaud himself has quoted: “Alpinism belongs to those who provide themselves with means to reach their goals, to those who are fully committed to a goal, to those, who know the value of solidarity of men, and to those who are aware that true human existence can only be fulfilled by proceeding with a team of roped-partners.”Pierre Mazeaud, la vie en face(s)

Les naufragés du Mont Blanc
Denis Ducroz (2002)
December 1956. Two mountaineers try what could be their greatest climb: the Brenva in winter. A sudden weather change and their lack of experience trap them at 4000 metres. In Chamonix, a series of absurdities is responsible for the lack of a quick rescue, which forces the climbers to stay on the mountain for ten days. A touching story that shook France and that is remembered here by some of its protagonists.- 2002

The summit
Nick Ryan (2012)
K2 is the second-highest peak in the world but is renowned as the most dangerous -- and revered by mountaineers as their ultimate challenge. In August 2008, 18 climbers reached the summit of K2. Forty-eight hours later, 11 people were dead. What happened on that fateful day has never been fully resolved. Utilizing found footage, realistic reenactments, and interviews with survivors, The Summit zigzags back and forth in time, interweaving multiple narrative threads and piecing together events that took place that day—one of the deadliest in mountain-climbing history. With the help of breath-taking cinematography, director Nick Ryan creates a tension-filled, experiential film that will have viewers on the edge of their seats.- 2012
