Screening of the documentary Everest: The Other Side, about the north face of Mount Everest, at QUAD, with a Midweek Treat screening on Thursday.
Everest: The Other Side is showing at QUAD on Sunday 29 November and Thursday 3 December. It's a documentary film directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, and it runs for 115 minutes. It's rated 12A, so it's fine for most, though you'll want to keep the younger ones in mind.
The film follows elite mountaineers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson, who fell in love while pushing each other to the summit of their sport. They turned that partnership into a shared goal: climbing and skiing the direct north face of Mount Everest, on the mountain's remote Chinese side. It's described as the most dangerous and coveted ski descent on Earth, and the documentary tracks them as they take it on. Time Out gave it four stars.
There are two screenings to choose from. The first is on Sunday 29 November at 12:30, and the second is on Thursday 3 December at 13:00. That Thursday showing is part of QUAD's Midweek Treat, which pairs the film with an introduction and a free cup of tea or coffee, so if you're fancying a bit more than just the movie, that's the one to go for.
