Mountain history and traditions
Leonard Kohli con il cortometraggio E.B.C. 5300M [Switzerland | 2016 | 14′]
E.B.C. 5300m is a film about the Everest Base Camp. The camp, set on a glacier, is assembled and dismantled every year for a period of 2 months. Between guides, cooks, government officials and guests, it houses a little bit less than 1,000 people . The film, throughs ambiences, shows the life and organization in the camp, and exposes the contrast between this ephemeral micro- city and the wild and mystical environment in which it is located.
A reflection on the overcrowding of the most prestigious and most widely summits and the emergence of extreme forms of tourisms.
