All roads lead to Scotland
Matt Hardy, Matt Pycroft, Adrian Samarra ( 2016 - UK )
Opposites attract. There isn’t a more appropriate statement to describe the unlikely yet formidable climbing partnership that is Nick Bullock and Tim Neill. They met on the mountains of Scotland in winter, and despite walking their own paths in the mountaineering world they are both drawn inexorably back there each winter. The fickle conditions that define Scottish winter climbing frequently lead to frustration, but the prospect of discovering an obscure gem presents an irresistible allure to them both.

Solo di cordata
Davide Riva ( 2015 - Italy )
A faithful filmic portrait of the very strong solitary climber who, retracing his most famous mountaineering exploits and thanks to precious unpublished repertory materials together with the voice of his closest friends and climbing companions, recounts, with the thoughts and voice of Casarotto himself, the human research hidden behind the need for mountaineering action immersed in the wildest nature. A collection of unknown images and thoughts that shed light on the human complexity and eclecticism of a man who, with his will and technique of ascent, has accomplished extraordinary feats many of which are still unsurpassed and never repeated today.
