Touching
The Void Screening Quiz/ContestScreening Tuesday, January 20 @ 7:30pm Joe Simpson and Simon Yates set out to climb the west face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. It was 1985 and the men were young, fit, skilled climbers. The west face, remote and treacherous, had not been climbed before. Following a successful 3-day ascent, disaster struck. Simpson fell a short distance and broke several bones in his leg. With no hope of rescue, the men decided to attempt descent together with Yates lowering Simpson 300 feet at a time in a slow, painful process that could have potentially been deadly for both. One further misstep led to Yates unknowingly lowering his injured partner over the lip of a crevasse. With the gradient having gone from steep to vertical, he was no longer able to hold on. Certain they were about to be pulled jointly to their deaths -- the only choice was to cut the rope. Based on the international bestseller, "Touching the Void," which combines dramatic and documentary techniques, is directed by Kevin Macdonald, the Academy Award-winning director of "One Day in September." Your odds of winning are based on the number of people entering the contest. Passes will be awarded in a random drawing from correct quiz entries. Winners will be sent notification of the drawing before the screening and you may be required to pickup your tickets prior to the screening. Clues for the contest can be found all over the web - you might start at the Official Website or the Internet Movie Database. |
