*** Mountain
Film Night *** Season 8
--- SHERPA --- *Multi-Award
Winner*
The Mountain Film Night event series aspires
to
bring a collection of inspiring and entertaining
films in the style of the Banff Film
Festival to warm up your cold winter nights.
The Calgary Section of the Alpine Club of
Canada has kindly
offered a block of theatre seats to their
upcoming Mountain Film
Night!
This film has taken many prizes including a
best film award at our
own Banff
Mountain
Film
Festival!
The filmmakers set out to make a film of the
2014 Everest climbing season, from the Sherpas’
point of view. Instead, they captured a tragedy
that would change Everest forever.
At 6.45am on 18th April, 2014, a 14 million ton
block of ice crashed down onto the climbing
route through the Khumbu Icefall, killing 16
Sherpas. It was the worst tragedy in the
history
of Everest.
The disaster provoked a drastic reappraisal
about the role of the Sherpas in the Everest
industry. SHERPA, tells the story of how, in
the face of fierce opposition, the Sherpas
united
in grief and anger to reclaim the mountain they
call Chomolungma.
