Tenkrát v ráji
Lordan Zafranovic (2016)
The film, based on the novel by Josef Urban, tells of the fateful love, the unmistakable friendship and the relations between the Czech and German mountaineers, to which the difficult period of war of the Protectorate was fateful. Legendary myths and the best Czech mountaineer, Josef Smítka, refused to embark on a total deployment in the Empire, and for several years he was hiding in the rock town of Hruboskalska by German authorities and Gestapo, supported by Czech and German mountaineers. Josko, on his journey of freedom, has crossed the boundaries of possibilities not only in rocks but also in life.Lordan Zafranovic, Peter Palka, Daniel Krzywon

The climbers
Daniel Lee (2019)
Historical drama about the first Chinese expeditions to Mount Everest. It tells how in 1960 three climbers reached the summit for the first time by the north ridge (Tibet side), overcoming the difficult second step. As the team couldn't take photos to prove the ascent, their achievement wasn't recognized by international mountaineers; so China organized a powerful expedition fifteen years later to prove the feat. Finally on May 27, 1975, nine members of the expedition team reached the top of the mountain. The film narrates the epic stories of both expeditions.- 2019

On the summit, the generations come together in a Who's Who of Slovenian mountain culture.- 2011
