NORDIC ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL (N.A.F.F.) - Award for Reinhold Messner film

"BEST MOUNTAIN CULTURE FILM’ 2025" 29.11.2025 / Kopenhagen / Dänemark

Reasons for the award given by the jury:

Messner returns to one of the most mythical and controversial ascents in the history of mountaineering. Not to settle old scores, but to uncover truths that have remained unclear for decades. K2 is more than just a mountain of ice and loss. It stands for pride, doubt, broken friendships and stories that were never fully told. Through a deep insight into history, the film removes the layers of myth and reveals the human decisions behind it. As Messner himself says, it is one of the most important films he has ever made – a work that illuminates a decisive moment in mountain culture.
