Party: Reel Rock Film Tour

Ronimisministeerium and Matkasport proudly present: Reel Rock Film Tour 11 – a collection of five electrifying climbing films showcasing the sport’s biggest stories and athletes. The films deliver edge-of-your-seat action, globetrotting exploration, big laughs and true inspiration.

During the intermission team Kukkumiskaitse.ee climbers (https://www.facebook.com/yosemiteronijad) tell about their attempt to climb the Nose, the most famous rock climbing route in the world! The team has returned just two days earlier and will share fresh the highs and lows of their trip to Yosemite National Park, California.

Besides Kino Kosmos a small batch of tickets (10 €) is available at Ronimisministeerium.

The films:
1) YOUNG GUNS, 30 mins
Meet the new faces of climbing: 15-year-old Ashima Shiraishi and 16-year-old Kai Lightner are the leaders of a new generation taking the sport to the next level. Ashima, a New York City native, is the youngest person and the first female to climb 5.15a. Kai, from Fayetteville, North Carolina, became a national climbing champion as a high school sophomore. Young Guns follows these two friends and prodigies as they spend their summer vacation in Norway, where the legendary Flatanger cave forces them outside their comfort zone. In the finale, Ashima travels on to Japan to set a new standard on Horizons, a fierce 30-move boulder problem at the cutting edge grade of V15.

2) BOYS IN THE BUGS, 20 mins
Matt Segal and Will Stanhope are elite-level rock climbers and world-class goofballs. In an age of elite athletes, fad diets and training regimes, Matt and Will’s old-school approach consists of trying hard, having fun and killing the pain with a few cold ones. But Matt and Will’s m.o. gets a run for its money when they attempt an audacious multi-pitch 5.14 finger crack rising above a glacier in Canada’s wild Bugaboo Mountains. Jump on board their rollercoaster of laughs and tears during an epic, multi-year quest to establish a strong candidate for the world’s hardest alpine trad climb.

3) Intermission, 30 minutes: Team Kukkumiskaitse.ee presentation of their attempt on the Nose, Yosemite National Park, California.

4) BRETTE, 12 mins
Follow up-and-comer Brette Harrington on a journey from her hometown granite of Squamish, to the big wall proving ground of Yosemite’s El Capitan, and beyond, capping off the journey with Brette’s renowned free solo of St. Exupery Spire in Patagonia.

5) DODO’S DELIGHT, 30 mins
Pack your penny whistle and batten down the hatches: It’s a madcap sailing adventure in the Arctic Circle aboard the good ship Dodo’s Delight. Join Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll, Ben Ditto, brothers Nico & Olivier Favresse and their 79-year old captain, Reverend Bob Shepton, as the gang embarks on a rollicking musical journey amongst rough seas, freezing temperatures, and sketchy all-free big walls. Telluride Mountainfilm, which awarded Dodo’s Delight its prestigious Charlie Fowler award, called the movie “the epitome of adventure”.

6) RAD DAD, 12 mins
Mike Libecki has more 50 expeditions notched on his harness, traveling, often alone, to the most remote corners of the globe to find unclimbed walls and establish first ascents. When Mike becomes a father, he has a new challenge: to reconcile his life of adventure with the demands of parenthood. In the process, he may gain a new expedition partner.

Note: The films are in English without Estonian or Russian subtitles.
