Britain's What's On Event Guide
Adventure Club: Berg
Berg follows the stories of the stones, rocks and peaks of a vast mountain landscape.
Stark black and white images and a minimalistic ambient soundtrack draw the viewer into a vibrant, cinematic experience. Just as all sense of scale is lost amidst this raw and primal trip across the panorama of the mountains, we see three small human figures – hikers tackling the peak. Following their journey throughout the film, against rising and hanging fog, thunderstorm and falling rain, we experience first-hand the overwhelming power of nature and the insignificance of man within it.
Berg is the first feature film by Joke Olthaar. Her music documentary Here is Harry Merry, was a success at the International Film Festival Rotterdam 2013 and was described by de Volkskrant as ‘a true gem’.
Adventure Club films tell unexpected stories from around the World, told from unexpected perspectives. We know that there are communities around these amazing films. Now more important than ever to bring them to our cinemas.
