Twenty-one films have been admitted to the festival’s international competition from Poland, France, Spain, Holland, Iran, Nepal, Germany, South Africa, Slovakia, Switzerland, the UK, the US and Italy.

Five days of screenings and events, with six special guests (Ueli Steck, Andrzej Barile, Kinga Baranowska, Simon Yates, Denis Urubko, Janusz Gołąb) and mountaineering lectures and meetings are scheduled.

The prizes will be assigned by the international jury comprised of Austrian Festival director Anne Ferrer, Piotr Fudakowski (producer of Tsotsi, Oscar Best Foreign Language Film of the Year 2005), Krzysztof Kokoryn (director and painter), Joanna Rathe (Programming Manager for Planete+, Kuchnia+, Domo+) and Darek Załuski (mountaineer and film maker).

Among the 21 films in competition some will be screened for the first time, while others (like Valley Uprising) have already received awards at important festivals. There are also two Italian films: Chris Bonington - Life and Climbs, directed by Vinicio Stefanello (PlanetMountain.com) and produced by Courmayeur for the Piolet d’or Carriere which the great British mountaineer received earlier this year, and Nini by Gigi Giustiniani.
