Journey to 100
Friday, Oct 22*

Directed by Peter Mortimer and Nick Rosen
Rated PG-13, 92 min

Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Leclercs approach is the essence of solo adventure. Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesnt own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. Veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (THE DAWN WALL) sets out to make a film about Leclerc but struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then, Leclerc embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing.

*The Friday night screening will include a special presentation of the short film "Journey to 100" - about Jason Hardrath's quest to become the first ultrarunner to complete 100 FKTs.
