ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, the Oscar-winning director of Free Solo, joins Screen Off Script to discuss her new documentary Everest: The Other Side.
Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, Everest: The Other Side follows climbers Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson as they pursue their extraordinary dream of climbing and skiing down the North Face of Mount Everest.
In this interview, Vasarhelyi discusses the emotional heart of the film, Jim and Hilaree's relationship, the risks involved in telling their story, and how Everest: The Other Side became as much a love story as it is an adventure and mountaineering documentary.
We also discuss Vasarhelyi's filmmaking career, from Meru and Free Solo to The Rescue and Nyad, and what continues to draw her to stories about people pursuing seemingly impossible dreams.
Everest: The Other Side Opens Exclusively in Cinemas and IMAX® Worldwide October 30
