Loop
Best Feature-length Mountain Film
Sponsored by Camper’s Village
Searching for extraordinary ski trails, an engineer and a fishing enthusiast travel from Narvik to the Lofoten Islands on a cutter. A marketing expert manages to climb one of Norway’s most difficult routes all alone, just to BASE jump from the top. A paramedic takes time out from his exhausting job to monitor a large forest area and prevent outbreaks of fire. What unites these four men is a typical professional career on the one hand and the courage to defy conventions on the other. Loop tells us their stories and introduces us to 90-year-old Arne Nœss, a philosopher and adventurer. Appeared in Feature-length Films on October 28 at 7:30 p.m. |
“It’s very difficult to deal with the philosophical approach to life in the mountains, and do it visually, not just with words,” says jury member Pat Morrow. “This film does that, with its strong synergy among visuals, narration and dialogue.” Norway, 2005, 75 minutes Directed and produced by Sjur Paulsen Production company: Sub Productions |
