L'Appel Des Cimes, dirigido por Alain Pol, es un documental encargado por la CAF y varios ministerios franceses sobre la práctica del alpinismo de posguerra. En 1946, los escaladores se formaron en la escuela de escalada de Fontainebleau. Guy Poulet y Jacques Poincenot intentan escalar las Aiguilles de Chamonix pero fallan durante la fase de ascenso. Después de una noche en un refugio con Denise Rouzeau y el guía Pierre Allain, los escaladores vuelven a probar suerte. Demostración exitosa para aquellos que continuaron el camino de aproximación y luego el paso de los seracs glaciares.

“There’s a fine line between being bold and being a dumbass. And I think Brad did some time on both sides of the line.” Such are the words filmmaker and climber Cedar Wright uses to describe the subject of his new film. Meet Brad Gobright, 27 years old, busboy at a fine dining establishment, dirtbag, college dropout. Gobright’s diet consists of sprinkled donuts, scraps from work, glazed croissants, apple pie, and any and all junk food. And one other thing: Gobright is one of the best and boldest free solo climbers in the sport — who nobody has ever heard of. Safety Third shines the spotlight on Gobright, probably for a shorter moment than he deserves. But it doesn’t matter. His mind is elsewhere, focused on his next free solo.
Sur le fil des 4000 is a documentary film by Gilles Chapaz, which traces the last rope of the mountaineering duo Patrick Berhault and Philippe Magnin. The objective of the roped party was to climb the 82 peaks over 4000 meters in the Alps, by carrying out the connecting routes on foot, on skis or by bike. All at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. They left on March 1, 2004, from Saint Christophe en Oisans. The film shows us in images this alpine adventure, from which the spirit of competition is excluded, to make way for the simple pleasure of being in the mountains. This posthumous film was edited after the disappearance of Patrick Berhault, which occurred during the expedition on April 28, 2004.
