Snow film fest Prague Cinema Aero
A full-length program full of the best winter travel and sports films of the past season, discussions with festival guests. Come soak up the freezing atmosphere further, admire the remarkable performances and draw inspiration for your travels. 18:00 – Opening 18:10 – K2: The Impossible Descent Andrzej Bargiel will be the first forever. The first to manage to descend from the top of K2 on skis – the second highest mountain in the world, which has the most unsuccessful attempts to conquer at the end. All previous attempts by brave skiers, even one of Andrzej’s, ended in failure or death. In 2018, he returns with Andrzej with his brother Bartek and a team that includes, for example, top climber Jimmy Chain, on his second attempt. An adventure that begins where other expeditions end. 19:15 – Break I. 19: 40 – Persian Lines Basically, it can be said that the snow is the same white everywhere and the skiing technique is similar at home, in the Alps and in Asia. What makes skiing experiences unforgettable is the place and culture. This film will take you to the slopes of the Iranian mountains as well as to the streets of Iran and the market. Kindness and kindness reign everywhere here. It is hard to believe that a few months later the same streets will be full of violence and protests. And that the snow in the mountains will still be just as cold. 20:15 – Debate with the creators of the film Persian Lines 21: 00 – Break II. 21:20 – Viktor Young Viktor Beránek was a bit of a rebel. Anti-regime views and the desire for freedom led him to the Tatras, he became a carrier. Since 1969, he has replaced a number of Tatra cottages, but Chata pod Rysmi has become his real home. The world at the mountain hut, often on the verge of comfort, is a place for him halfway to paradise. What is it like to live and age in the mountains? 21:40 – Float to ski The Middle Fork Salmon River in Idaho is not a river run by crowds of paddlers, and the slopes of the 3,000-meter peaks above its canyon are not a common destination for skiers. For so long, a group of paddlers and skiers tried to plan this expedition until they came to the conclusion that it was simply not possible. That the only way to find out the conditions is to just pick yourself up and leave. 22:00 – Crossing Lebanon 10 days, heavy backpack, blisters, sometimes he doesn’t want to get up in the morning and his feet are terribly dead. Sometimes you enjoy great downhill in powder, other times skiing is worth the old slipper. For dinner, you have instant noodles again and again. Sounds like going to ski alps with friends. Exactly. Harim, Luggi and Nico are like you. Have you been to ski alps in Lebanon? Are you going? 22:15 – Hors Piste The two are the best lifeguards of the mountain service far and wide. It could be said that the injured skier is so lucky in the misfortune that he got into their hands. But just today, as a monster, not everything goes as it should. You may feel like you’ve seen the two animated boys somewhere. Maybe in a Czech evening. 22:30 – Closing of the festival
