Mountain based French documentary film 'Zabardast (2018)' by Jérome Tanon was screened at Alliance Francaise de Dhaka (AFD) on November 23.
This multi-voice adventure and expedition film is an intimate travel diary. The setting is a remote glacier in the Big Karakorum in Pakistan. The adventure consists in approaching the mountain all alone, 150 km in three weeks, without the help of porters who carry or draw the loads and sleds with the camp equipment, including the solar panels.
An intimate travel diary of an incredible free ride expedition into the heart of Karakoram Mountain range - the search for one of the most beautiful mountains to ski, Biacherahi, standing tall at 5880 metres. An adventure so remote, so high, so committed that a single mistake could be fatal. During the five-week-long expedition the team goes deeper and deeper into the core of one of the most hostile places on planet, Karakoram, pulling sledges with foods and mountaineering gears, tents, solar panels, and camera equipment across gigantic glaciers. In addition to mountaineering and adventure, this film also portrays the spirit of travelling by showcasing the members' point of view on seeing new country, meeting new people, their culture and lifestyle.
Mountain based adventure community of Bangladesh 'Audree' organized the screening to inspire the young generation on mountaineering and adventure.
