In the spring of 1976, a group of nine “Biscayans” embarked on an adventure that could only be the result of their insulting youth. Canned up in two vans, they travelled thousands of kilometres across Europe and Asia. Their destination was Tirich Mir West, a 7338-metre high mountain in Pakistan's Hindu Kush. Forty-five years later, some of the protagonists of the journey will remind us all, through photographs and testimonies, of the honey and the bitterness of that youthful audacity.

THE GEO-ESSENCE OF MOUNTAIN FILMS

Sala BBK

EÑAUT IZAGIRRE + IBAI RICO + CECILIA BUIL

Wednesday December 8 – 18:00 Sala BBK

Mountain films feature a wide range of protagonists: peaks, walls, streams, people.... But there are nameless beings who are always hidden from the spotlight and who explain the reason for the landscape. Cecilia Buil (mountaineer and climber) and Ibai Rico (Professor of Geology and researcher at the UPV, mountain guide and climber), will propose a new way of observing, understanding and living the mountains and nature, in a talk led by Eñaut Izagirre (geographer and glaciologist).
