Join us at Rheged for a captivating screening of Everest Revisited: 1924–2024 in our Cinema, a brand new internationally acclaimed documentary currently screening at leading film festivals around the world. This film, which explores the story of the 1924 Everest expedition, combines extensive historical footage from John Noel with contemporary interviews. It delves into the stories of mountaineers and scholars to reflect on what Everest has meant—and continues to mean—to climbers and the people of Nepal, 100 years on from the famous expedition.
Created by those with first-hand Everest experience, Everest Revisited draws on the expertise of its creators, grounded in personal experience and knowledge of the mountain.
To reach the highest point on our planet is at once a measure of our ambition and achievement, and at the same time, of our frailties and vanity. Narrated by mountaineer Matt Sharman and featuring Julie Summers, great-niece of Sandy Irvine, the documentary gathers insights from an impressive array of well-know climbers, including Sir Chris Bonington, Rebecca Stephens, Krish Thapa, Stephen Venables, Dawson Stelfox, and Leo Houlding.
Dr. Jonathan Westway and Ed Douglas also provide observations on the historical and social impacts of Everest exploration, while Dr. Melanie Windridge sheds light on the origins of scientific studies tied to the mountain.
Directed by local alpinist, writer, film maker, and founder of the Kendal Mountain Festival, John Porter and award-winning producer and director Dom Bush, with a script written by John Porter, Everest Revisited 1924-2024 has been produced by The Alpine Club and The Mount Everest Foundation, bringing together decades of mountaineering expertise and storytelling to deliver an insightful exploration of the legendary 1924 Everest expedition and its lasting legacy.
There will also be a short educational film on the Mount Everest Foundation’s work in science and exploration.
This film is a wonderful addition to visiting the new Everest Revisited Exhibition in our main Gallery, combining art, photography, film and rare artefacts from the Alpine Club, Royal Geographical Society and Mountain Heritage Trust to share 100 years of Everest exploration. It received a Special Mention at the Krakow Mountain Film Festival.
