The 1999 Banff Mountain Film Festival was won by "Vision Man", a contemplative and retrospective look at an Inuit hunter's life, which spanned nearly a century. A century in which technology and progress brought about drammatic changes in the way life is led in the Arctic.
This Swedish film, produced by Lars Aby and directed by Willian Long, beat 37 other candidates to win the coveted Grand Prize of this 24th Festival.
Other winners include "118 Days in Captivity of Ice" for Best Film on Mountain Sports, "The Magic Trees of Assam" for Best Film on Mountain Environment, "The Mountains of yesterday" for Best Film on Mountain Culture, Oceans of Fear for the Alpine Club of Canada Award for Best Film on Climbing and "From Nowhere to the Middle of Nowhere" as a Special Jury Award.
Paul Pritchard won this year's Banff Mountain Book Festival with his latest creation, "The Totem Pole: and a Whole New Adventure". It is based on the Welshman's slow rehabilitation after his crippling and near life-threatening fall from a sea stack in Tasmania. Pritchard is no newcomer to literature and his climbing exploits are well known: his book "Deep Play" won the Boardman Tasker Award for Mountain Literature in 1997.
