Every time you watch a movie, do you spend a lot of time choosing which one to watch? We have taken this responsibility upon ourselves and selected wonderful, colorful, and adrenaline-pumping films about mountains, climbing, and the lives of climbers. With these films, we would like to show newcomers what it's like, as well as give them the opportunity to spend time together and discuss the plot, events or actions of people in extreme situations.
People with experience often look at the details. How the system is dressed, what kind of equipment the main characters have, how physically possible it is to perform a particular maneuver, and they may even compare their climbing experiences.
KULUAR wishes everyone to make a cup of fragrant tea, sit back and enjoy watching feature films from our selection. And also to be inspired and share your impressions with us.
Race to the Summit, 2023The movie is not about one solo climber, but about two. It's about the mega-unique Uli Steck and his rival Danny Arnold. In the mountains of Switzerland, fearless climbers start a game with death. Who will set a speed record and be the first to climb the northern wall of the Alps? A great movie about climbers that keeps you in suspense with its plot, competitions and, ultimately, landscapes! It's impossible to tear yourself away from the movie.
A young, privileged American tries to make history on Everest by becoming a Himalayan porter. But instead, on his journey, he experiences the horror of reality. This is a look at the dark side of Everest from the inside. And also at the strength, pride and pain of the people who support him. The movie is about how difficult it is for a naive foreigner to try to do the same thing that ordinary porters do every day during their climbs.
An experienced Nepalese climber Nimsday Purja announced that he would attempt to climb the 14 highest mountain peaks of the planet in 7 months. This announcement was preceded by careful preparation not only by the athlete himself, but also by a large team of his assistants. So he is going on a trek to the limits of human capabilities. Will the determined young man manage to overcome all natural and personal obstacles in time?
The movie will tell you a lot of interesting facts about inaccessible peaks, unique people, and answer interesting questions.

A wonderful movie about mountains and mountaineering, based on real events.

In October 1972, the Uruguayan rugby team is on a plane to Chile, where their next game is scheduled to take place. The good mood of the athletes quickly disappears when the plane suddenly loses control and crashes into a snow-capped mountain somewhere in the Andes. Out of 45 passengers, 29 people survive and are trapped in the icy desert. After 8 days, they learn via transistor radio that their search is officially over. A good movie that reveals the human nature in extreme conditions and shows how far a person can go in an effort to survive.
Alone, without a safety net, on the slopes of inaccessible mountains... Who is he - a brave man, a madman, or both? Marc-André Leclerc has been called "the best mad genius of solo climbing".

The Sanctity of Space, 2021Another movie about rock climbers.

Rock climber Alex Honnold is the first person to climb the inaccessible El Capitan rock in Yosemite Park. Alone, without a safety net, he climbed a thousand meters down a steep slope in less than 4 hours, accomplishing one of the most incredible feats in the history of modern sport.

A group of climbers is trying to reach the top of K2, the second-highest mountain on Earth, located in the Himalayas. However, due to a combination of bad weather and a series of accidents, the climbers find themselves in a life-threatening situation. A tragedy occurs that leads to the death of several team members.

However, in fact, the missing people are ruthless bandits who have lost valuable cargo in the mountains and decided to set a trap for Walker and his men in order to take advantage of their skills and knowledge, and then eliminate unnecessary witnesses. However, it is not only the bandits that Walker has to deal with, but also the vagaries of the weather, as well as the dangers that the mountain peaks of one of the most extreme places in the world conceal.
