International Mountain and Adventure Film Festival
12th - 15th November 2008
Graz
It is the purpose of the International Mountain & Adventure Film Festival Graz to support and promote the culture of mountain, adventure and nature filmmaking. The focus should lie on thematic and artistic components. Through public screenings and corollary programs, films of this genre will not only be presented to a large audience, but their creators will also be able to show their productions to specialists in the field. An international jury consisting of five persons will judge the films, which have been chosen in advance by a pre-selection committee. This jury will award five different prizes in the categories mentioned below, and, as the main prize, the “Grand Prix Graz”.
- Category I - Documentary films about expeditions and ascents, and films on alpine history.
- Category II - Films about rock and ice climbing, showing the activities of climbers and expressing their motivations.
- Category III - Adventure films capturing people and their exceptional achievements in the nature, possibly without or little help of technical means.
- Category IV - Films about nature and the environment. The subject of these films should be related to the preservation, protection and presentation of all kinds of nature.
- Category V - Films on ethnological topics and alpine cultures worthy of protection.
