In reply to UKC News:
Absolutely crazy that K2 won any film prize at all. Don't think I've ever seen such a bad 'mountain' related film. The sentiment/'story' is valid and very thought provoking but boy what a tripe film. I and my fellow film/mountain fans wanted to end our own lives from about 5-10 minutes into it, really badly shot and crap editing, maybe would have been okay/bearable if 10 minutes long. Saw it at the best of on Sunday night and loads of people were walking out, after it the volunteers who introduced/presented the session apologised at the door as we all left and admitted it was an awful choice/film. Don't know how it won anything, maybe because it had K2 in the title.
Other than that another great festival. Tommy Caldwell was brilliant to see and listen to. Oh and Denali is a must see (can be found on tube or vimeo - can't remember which)
