MOUNTAIN is a unique documentary movie directed by Australian filmmaker, Jennifer Peedom. Her previous documentary movie, Sherpa, was nominated for a BAFTA in 2016.

Willem Dafoe contributes his distinctive voice in Jennifer’s new movie, MOUNTAIN, as the narrator. The beautiful harmonies of the Australian Chamber Orchestra (ACO) add to the film’s unique quality.

The film explores the human obsession and relationship with mountains, one of the great forces in nature. The movie includes footage from man’s first treks up mountain tops up to the current day across many different countries and encountering a range of different climates.

The extremely dangerous and ‘adrenaline rush’ activities by ice climbers, skiers, parachutists, mountain bikers, hikers, tightrope walkers depict human beings determination to go outside their daily routines and embrace the challenge. Some adventurers find mountain ranges a sacred ground for meditative purpose whilst others love the raw, unspeakable beauty of the experience.
