film "The Russian Eight-thousander",
Director: Nikolai Zhidkov; Producers: 263 films representing 31 countries were received for the 2002 competition. "The mountain film industry has never been stronger — and this year’s entries reflect that fact," says Bernadette McDonald, vice-president, Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre. "From a 15-year-old novice filmmaker to some of the most respected directors and producers in the business, the story-telling is first-class. I don't think I've ever seen such variety — there is everything from Ethiopia to Patagonia, from mixed climbing in the Canadian Rockies to Lhotse Middle Peak, from an incredible portrait of Massoud the Afghan to an equally compelling depiction of the legendary characters of Yosemite’s Camp 4."
