The Epic of Everest*
(GB 1924)
Explorers' Films. 90m. bw. silent
The filmed record of Mallory's noble attempt at climbing Mount Everest, done as a home movie by the explorers with heavy subtitle exposition but fascinating early use of zoom cameras at high altitudes, although big screens are required to see the tiny dots in the distance that were Mallory and Irvine, with of course added poignancy given the ultimate outcome.
Produced/Photography by: J.B. Noel.
Music (2013): Simon Fisher Turner.
