Reel Rock 14 features a collection of short, adrenaline-packed films from the world’s best adventure film-makers. This year’s line-up sees top athletes pushing themselves to the limits in wild corners of the globe, including Alex Honnold, star of the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, who returns to the big screen alongside legendary climber Tommy Caldwell to attempt an outrageous speed record up a daunting route on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.
The programme also follows bouldering star Nina Williams as she tests herself in the terrifying ‘nofall’ zone – 50ft above the ground on elite level climbs with no rope – as well as a carefree group of climbers in rural Utah who collide with the conservative coal mining community and begin to work together towards a harmonious future.
