On September 28, there was a beautiful ceremony in memory of the glacier that melted in Bolivia. To celebrate this tribute, there was also a special screening of Samuel in the Clouds.

Great news from Romania: ‘Samuel in the Clouds’ has been officially selected for the International Competition at the Alpin Film Festival in Romania! This festival takes place from February the 27th until March 4th 2018 in Predeal, Bușteni and Brașov. ‘Samuel in the Clouds’ will be screened on March the 2nd at 07:00 pm in Brașov.

We are very happy with the selection of ‘Samuel in the Clouds’ for the 4th edition of the Peloponissos International Documentary Festival! The festival with social and human rights orientation, will be held in Kalamata, Greece from January 24th until February 3rd 2018. ‘Samuel in the Clouds’ will be screened on February the 3rd and is eligible to win two public awards.

We are very excited to announce that ‘Samuel in the Clouds’ has won the award for Mountain Environment & Natural History at the Banff Mountain Film & Book Festival! We don’t want to withhold the jury statement, as it is truly beautiful:

“We become connected to films when something resounds deep inside of us. Sometimes a beautiful image or a moving piece of music can stir within us a strong emotional reaction. This film really struck a chord with us because of the honest and original way the topic of global warming is presented. It portrays, in a sobering way, the inner struggle of a man facing an uncertain future as the Chacaltaya Glacier slowly disappears.”
— Gilles Chappaz, jury member

We are very excited that ‘Samuel in the Clouds’ has been selected for yet another great mountainfilm festival: the International Mountainfilm Festival Graz, Austria. The film will compete in the category ‘Nature and Environment’. The screening will take place on Wednesday November 15th at 05:00 pm.
