2020 Mountainfilm Intro

Festival Welcome from Hilaree Nelson

Film Welcome — This Land

Runner Faith Briggs represents the new school of conservationist. No longer worshipping at the feet of Henry David Thoreau, conservationists today include women, people of color and indigenous communities — those whose love for public lands, diverse voices and journeys of empowerment fuel bold feats of activism. Like running 150 miles through national monuments at the center of controversial political maneuvering. Briggs, who once considered conservation a privileged realm, now dons the mantle with pride as she redefines its very definition.

This Land

Film Welcome — Lhotse

The fourth-highest mountain in the world, Lhotse has long captured the imagination of climbers. In 2018, professional ski mountaineers Hilaree Nelson and Jim Morrison attempted the first ski descent of the iconic Lhotse Couloir. The pair face all the challenges of Himalayan climbing at 8,000 meters — avalanches, the Khumbu Icefall, and sometimes near-zero visibility. But Nelson and Morrison embrace this risk-taking as a way to live in the moment and push self-imposed boundaries in pursuit of their passion.

Lhotse

To Scottish mountain climber and polar explorer Myrtle Simpson, it’s not an adventure unless you’re living off your wits. Simpson has scaled Andean peaks, dragged a sledge across glaciers and sea ice and attempted to reach the North Pole. As she approaches 90 years old, Simpson vividly recounts her adventures on the ice and finally receives the Polar Medal from Queen Elizabeth 50 years after she became the first woman to cross Greenland’s polar ice cap.&nbsp;
