A deeply touching story of an extraordinary Nepalese woman who, against all the traditional conventions and beliefs, succeeds in becoming the first female Sherpa at the top of Everest, risking her very life in doing so. She became an inspiration for the whole Nepalese country.

Authentic insight through compelling storytelling and excellent presentation of mixed climbing in the cradle of extreme winter climbing in Scotland, all of it beautifully shot in extremely difficult conditions.

The partner of the award for the best climbing film is Lumar d.o.o.

A true, sad, and honest story from behind the scenes of Everest climbing. The film showcases and honours the true contribution of the Sherpas and their work, which is crucial for the commercial expeditions on Everest.

Incredible effort to fulfil one’s artistic inspiration in the most extreme conditions. This beautiful film is an ode to the love of wildlife and the art of photography.

An ironic, thoughtful, funny, and very human portrayal of various situations one can encounter while climbing mountains, full of love and attention to detail.

Reinhard Karl: The Art of Climbing a Mountain is an intimate portrait of the transformation of a climber into an alpinist/photographer or perhaps even a photographer/alpinist who starts to perceive his climbs, mountains, struggles, risks, and happiness through the eyes of a philosopher and with the soul of a seeker of the meaning of life, providing a poetic answer to the age-old question about climbing: Is it more than art?
