Everest Revisited, 1924 - 2024

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. More than 100 years on from the tragic events of the 1924 Mount Everest Expedition, Julie Summers, the great niece of Sandy Irvine, and mountaineer and narrator Matt Sharman seek insights into the 1920s Everest expeditions in interviews with many well-know climbers, including Sir Chris Bonington, Rebecca Stephens, Krish Thapa, Dr. Melanie Windridge, Stephen Venables, Dawson Stelfox and Leo Houlding. Along with extensive historical footage, photographs and documents, as well as interviews with Everest scholars and mountaineers the pair don't just re-tell the story of the three Everest expeditions of the 1920s, but re-examine them, asking what the mountain means for climbers and the people of Nepal 100 years on from the infamous disappearance of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine. 'Everest Revisited' is an Alpine Club production, produced with support from the Mount Everest Foundation. It was directed by John Porter and Dom Bush. It stars Sir Chris Bonington, Leo Houlding, Rebecca Stephens, Jonathan Westaway, Stephen Venables, Melanie Windridge, Krish Thapa, Ed Douglas, Dawson Stelfox, Noel Odell, Julie Summers and Matt Sharman. The film won the Jury Special Mention Award at the 2024 Krakow Mountain Festival and was runner-up for the Audience Choice Award at the 2024 London Mountain Film Festival.
