Czech film Climbing Higher with Czech mountaineer Radek Jaroš and his ascets to the 14 world tallest mountains got the award as the Best Feature-Length Mountain Film on the famous muintaneering film festival in Banff, Canada.

The jury said: “From the dark confines of the theatres we have travelled through landscapes and shared adventures in the most stunning corners of the world. But in this film we also have a complex weaving together of characters; the family and friends from home are as much a part of the expedition as are the climbers and the mountains. Here we glimpse the inner world of climbing. The age-old story of the need to satisfy obsession. The problems of growing up with that obsessive parent. The gratification of achieving the most difficult and dangerous goals. The joy of the return to home. The underlying themes are told in an understated way that allow the viewer to piece together the bigger picture of expedition climbing. This is quite simply good storytelling... in film.”
