Great Barrington – The Berkshire International Film Festival (BIFF) and the Triplex Cinema continue their monthly screenings on Sunday, October 5 at 11:00 a.m. at the Triplex with the inspirational outdoor film, “Farther Than The Eye Can See,” winner of 18 festival awards, produced and directed by filmmaker Michael Brown. The film is free and open to the public.
The film is an intimate look inside one of the most successful and inspirational Mount Everest expeditions ever. The 75-minute award-winning film beautifully captures the emotion, humor and drama of blind climber Erik Weihenmayer’s historic ascent as well as four other remarkable ‘firsts’ on Mount Everest.
"Though there were questions20about the wisdom of the attempt before the team even left home, the clear and definitive success of the expedition proves what people working together, with a common vision, can accomplish. By rallying behind Erik, nineteen of twenty-one team members stood on the top. The oldest climber ever reached the summit along with his son, an American first. And finally, with the help of Sherpas, we were able to bring an HDTV camera along to capture historic moments with Erik and his team on the summit." Said filmmaker Michael Brown. Brown is the celebrated director of 25 films and is a pioneer of adventure filmmaking who has received more than thirty international film festival and industry awards, including three national Emmys from five nominations.
