    Journey for three

    Michael Forlong (1950)

    The adventures of three British immigrants -two girls and a man- to New Zealand. The girls settle down quite soon, one as a nurse, the other as a factory worker; the man, an engineer, finds himself out of his element, ill at ease, disliking his companions, and has almost determined to leave when he goes out on a relief party up the mountains to rescue a climber who has broken his leg at the head of a glacier. The rigors of the climb solve his personal problems: he decides he likes New Zealanders after all, in spite of their differences to Britons... A film promoted by the Immigration Department of New Zealand to attract immigrants.

    Die kalte Wut des Makalu

    Die kalte Wut des Makalu

    Dorit Kiesewetter (2004)

    During an expedition to the peak of Makalu in the Himalayan mountains, the extreme mountaineer Knock Russell and his Sherpa Tashi Ram fight for survival. Only Ram manages the descent of the mountain. Years later, a further expedition sets out to find Russells body and reconstruct the unbelievable events. The film uses the forms of documentary filmmaking to create a take on the crisis of masculinity as caused by a mountain that is both powerful and camp at the same time. It skillfully disects the megalomania it presents while casting a self-reflexive glance at its own modes of presentation.
