Screening of the documentary Everest: The Other Side, directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, about ski mountaineers on Everest's North Face.
Everest: The Other Side is screening at Storyhouse Cinema on Wednesday 11 and Thursday 12 November, with the Wednesday showing at 8:30pm and the Thursday at 8pm. It's directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, the BAFTA and Academy Award-winning duo behind 2018's Free Solo, so if you've seen that, you'll know the kind of high-stakes mountain footage they do.
The film follows elite ski mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson, who fell in love while reaching the top of their sport. Their shared dream was to climb and ski the direct North Face of Everest, which is described as the most difficult and dangerous climb on the mountain and the most coveted ski line on earth. Thousands have summited via Nepal's southeast ridge, but only a handful have reached the top by this route, and no one has successfully skied down. Both Morrison and Nelson are already known for extraordinary feats in the mountains and are no strangers to loss, and they stake everything on this one challenge.
