Mountainfilm Graz 2024 presents:
Simon Messner – Traditional Alpinism
(Multimedia presentation)
Simon Messner studied molecular biology and is a passionate alpinist. He found his love for the mountains at the age of 16 along the classic rock tours of the Dolomites. Simon climbs rock and ice routes and has completed many first ascents in Oman, Jordan, Pakistan, in the Alps and on his home turf, the Dolomites. He places as much store by style, i.e. how a route is opened, as he does by the climbing itself. It’s not about numbers, times or degrees of difficulty; the mountains are first and foremost a space for experiences, a space worth preserving.
In his multimedia presentation, the South Tyrolean alpinist tells us about his life and takes us to the remote places that have made him what he is today.
When: Friday, 15 November 2024, 8:00 pm
Where: Steiermarksaal, Congress Graz
Mountainfilm Graz 2024 presents:
Alexander Huber – the younger brother of the ‘Huberbuam’ is coming to Graz with his multivision presentation!
Professional alpinist, speed climber, physicist, farmer, father – Alexander Huber combines many things in his life. But who knows he’s also a talented musician? With ‘Concerto vertical’, Alexander even brought classical sounds to the Heidenpfeiler in the German Pflälzerwald together with cellist Burkhard Weber.
In his presentation ‘Time to Breathe’, the extreme climber gives us a multi-faceted picture of modern alpinism with spectacular climbing scenes, and takes us to rock pillars and overhangs in the Karakoram and in Europe.
And as the Stefaniensaal in Congress Graz is also a concert hall, the lecture audience can look forward to a musical performance by Alexander Huber, along with other highlights!
The climber takes a philosophical view of his life on the steepest walls: ‘It’s not the mountain that you conquer, but always your own self.
When: Thursday, 14 November 2024, 8:00 pm
Where: Stefaniensaal, Congress Graz
