"A careful assessment"

"The selection process was not easy and required a careful assessment"
explained Antonio Cembran, a member of the Selection Committee and Director of the Festival."

This theme of this year's Festival is a quest, for the mountaineering and exploration documentaries are based on historical facts.

"The world of mountaineering is represented through historical reconstructions, so as to re-establish a historical perspective, not just from poetic point of view, but also from a concrete standpoint" explains Cembran. "Through the cinema the mountain finds a vehicle of expressing not only its dreams, made real through their beauty, but also the often harsh reality. Man intrudes, and on stopping on this fragile balance is indispensable."
