TEPLICE NAD METUJÍ
MEZINARODNÍ HOROLEZECKÝ
FLIMOÝ FESTIVAL
|
|
|
The first International Mountaineering Film Festival in Teplice and Metuji was held in 1981. A friendly meeting in the initial years, the event soon became popular and flourished with open air screenings and folk concerts. After the revolutionary events in 1989 many other opportunities for self-realisation became accessible to people and a combination of circumstances cancelled the Festival for a period of three years. However, the tragic death of Miroslav mid, the father of the Festival, in 1993 encouraged a group of his friends to restore the glory and atmosphere of the Festival. The organisers' aim was to widen the field of interest, to enrich the purely climbing project with some other outdoor sports and the relationship of people with nature in general.

Mountainfilm in Telluride is far more than a film festival. It is an ecletictic blend of programs - film screenings, guest speakers, gallery exhibits, slide shows, readings, symposia, seminars and conversations - that together comprise a celebration of the culture unique to mountain communities and highlight the power of film and arts to create social change. Over the course of 24 years, Mountainfilm in Telluride has evolved into an absolutely unique international rendez-vous, accentuating topics of adventure, environment, culture and ethnography.
