Two generations – two expeditions, one desire to reach the unknown.
The will of the Krkonoš climbers and researchers is endless...
The new feature film by Tomáš Galásek, a leading figure in Czech outdoor cinematography, follows the Krkonoš climbing and scientific expeditions of 1979 and 2024. The film offers an authentic look at pioneering climbing and research achievements
in the Asian high mountains both now and half a century ago.
The virgin seven-thousander Muču Kiš in Pakistan's Karakoram was conquered in the summer of 2024 by a trio of experienced climbers from Krkonoš: Radoslav Groh, Zdeněk Hák, and Jaroslav Bánský. The expedition respectfully acknowledges the legacy of the I. Krkonoš Climbing and Scientific Expedition to the Himalayas in 1979. Its members, led by legends of Czechoslovak alpinism Jan Červinka and Vladimír Krupička, also reached the virgin seven-thousander North Manaslu. The film will also present the current activities of socio-cultural anthropologist Libor Dušek in Pakistan and the period research of geobotanist Jan Štursa in Nepal.
The ceremonial screening in Ostrava will take place with the participation of the film delegation. You will have a unique opportunity to meet the creators of the film as well as the participants of both expeditions – climbers and researchers – and hear the stories behind not only the making of the film but especially the adventures that the film brings closer.
