For its second edition, the Chamonix Film Festival ends with the awards ceremony in the presence of Conrad Anker, the festival’s patron. The Alpinist was awarded the Grand Prix of the Festival. We have seen some astonishing films, which show the diversity of the production of films with the common denominator of the abundant universe of the mountain. <\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||3px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”800px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

I<\/span>t is a striking film that impressed the Jury of the 2nd Chamonix Film Festival: The Alpinist<\/strong> retraces the meteoric career of Marc-Andr\u00e9 Leclerc, the late Canadian mountaineer. As we have said<\/a>, we shudder to follow Marc-Andr\u00e9 Leclerc hanging on his ice axes, without a rope, and obviously this journey struck a chord with the jury. The Alpinist was awarded the Grand Prix at the Chamonix Film Festival.<\/p>\n

Special Prize to Vertiges<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The second major prize was awarded to Vertiges, a step towards freedom<\/em>. Supported by Canal+, this documentary film tells the unusual experience of three prisoners who attempt the Mont Blanc. The camera follows these three long-sentenced prisoners. To be part of the adventure, the prisoners must be willing and physically fit. From the prison of Bourg-en-Bresse to the Alps, the journey of the prisoners for whom this project offers a real revenge on their tormented lives.<\/p>\n

A film that stands out, and above all one that casts a different light on prison life and the window to freedom and reintegration that the high mountains – and the association En passant par la montagne<\/em> – have enabled them to experience, thanks to the determination and support of a sports instructor, Jean-Bernard, who convinced the hierarchy, and of prison officials. A film directed by Cl\u00e9ment Chauveau and Fabien Douillard.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1200px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”4px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”800px” custom_margin=”50px|||” custom_padding=”0|0px|22.796875px|0px|false|false” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]

Narrative Award and Nature Award<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Narrative Award goes to The Last Mountain<\/em><\/a>, which follows the life of missing mountaineer Tom Ballard on Nanga Parbat. Ballard was the son of Alison Heargraves, who herself disappeared on K2 when he was a child. Christopher Terrill’s film traces this tragic story, exploring the issue of grief and how the Ballard family – father and sister – overcome both traumas.<\/p>\n

The Nature Prize goes to La Panth\u00e8re des Neiges<\/em>, the film by Marie Amiguet and Vincent Munier with Sylvain Tesson. Sylvain Tesson, who was visiting the festival and gave one of the festival’s conferences with his eloquence. A just reward for La Panth\u00e8re des Neiges<\/em>, which in the meantime had received a C\u00e9sar in Cannes, so a full house for the duo of animal directors.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ max_width=”1200px” use_custom_width=”on” custom_width_px=”800px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/alpinemag.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/jocelynchavy_CFF_22_prix-1165.jpg” title_text=”jocelynchavy_CFF_22_prix-1165″ show_in_lightbox=”on” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.3″ text_font=”Merriweather|900|||||||” text_font_size=”16″ custom_margin=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]
