ABOUT THE FILMS: 

What The Hands Do:

Mariana Mendoza and Miguel Casar are attracted to proud, challenging boulders and approach the sport with passion and dedication. At the same time, they believe that climbing hard is not the only thing that matters. As lifelong social justice advocates, they ask: How can we use climbing to cultivate joy and connection in our communities? Can climbing create opportunities for meaningful growth? How can we use climbing to shape the world we want to see?

Jirishanca: 

Veteran alpinist Josh Wharton, along with partner Vince Anderson, venture to the Peruvian Andes for Josh’s fourth attempt to establish a new route on a legendary mountain. Known locally in Quechua as “The Hummingbird,” Jirishanca in Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash packs a punch: rock pitches up to 5.13, unstable ice across mixed terrain, and “psychedelic snow climbing” to the summit. The mountain’s varied and wild state owes to warming global temperatures, so Josh and Vince face experience a vastly different and more challenging mountain than those who first set foot on the peak in the 1950s. Filmed in an intimate “on-the mountain” style reminiscent of The Alpinist, paired with remarkable high-altitude drone camerawork, this piece tells the story of a world-class level climbing set in a rapidly changing alpine environment.
