International Education & Careers Week
Day 3
Programme of Events for Wednesday 21st April 2010
International Film: The North Face
12.00 - 14.00 in Tuke Cinema
Summer, 1936. Bearing the expectations of a nation and their
Führer, two climbers set out to be the first to conquer the “last
great problem of the Alps”. But soon their ascent becomes a race
for survival, threatened by injury and storms of unimaginable fury.
Before long, their quest becomes a pulse-pounding race against both
time and the awesome forces of nature. Shot through with scenes of
gut-wrenching peril rivalling those of “Touching the Void”, “North
face” is a powerful, breathtaking tale of human endurance on a
terrifying landscape; towering over 1,800m, the North Face has
claimed over 60 lives and earned itself the grimly appropriate
nickname: “the murder wall”. (German with English
subtitles).
