LADY EVEREST2025, Spain, 59minDirector: Mª Isabel Díaz NovoINTERNATIONAL PREMIEREFifty years ago, on 16 May 1975, Japanese climber Junko Tabei achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the first woman to reach the summit of Mount Everest. It is unfortunate, but not unexpected, that the celebrations were confined to Asia. However, her story is undoubtedly one of the most inspiring in sport. Tabei transcended social norms and Japanese cultural traditions by adopting masculine and culturally different or westernised methods to lead high-altitude mountain expeditions for women only. Tabei helped establish the Joshi-Tohan Japanese Ladies Climbing Club, founded on the slogan: “Let’s go on an overseas expedition by ourselves”.TROVADOR DE LAS CUMBRESJEAN-MICHEL JORDÁThursday December 11 – 16:00 Euskalduna BilbaoJean-Michel Jordá is a mountaineer and filmmaker.
