EVEREST DARK
Cinematographer Scott Simper will be in attendance at the September 19 screening.
Captured with stunning intensity by director Jereme Watt and cinematographer Kyle Sandilands, the film delivers vertigo-inducing visuals and heart-pounding tension. Unlike other Everest documentaries, EVEREST DARK offers a deeply spiritual and culturally grounded point of view, guided by the wisdom and reverence of a man who knows the mountain better than almost anyone alive. EVEREST DARK is an interesting perspective on duty, belief and the price of returning to a place where so many never leave.
In EVEREST DARK, legendary Nepalese mountaineer and national hero Mingma Tsiri Sherpa sets out on one final, perilous mission: to recover a climber’s body and appease the angry mountain gods.
