Savage Cinema has taken its first steps at this 61st edition with six adventure and action sports films well received by the Festival audience and sports enthusiasts.
And there´s still another night to go: BIG FRIDAY, a not-to-be-missed get-together with some of the world´s most spectacular mountains in the Velodrome for which we enjoy the support of the Mendi Film Festival. A double session attended by the film directors and stars for a majestic premiere on a giant screen of Cerro Torre - A Snowball´s Chance in Hell and Into the Mind.
To present the Cerro Torre premiere, the Austrian sport climber and mountaineer brought a touch of excitement by providing one of the edition´s most spectacular images on climbing the wall of the K1 building in only a few minutes. The feat had onlookers and the media holding their breath until David made it all up there to the Festival summit!
