"The Alpinist" (Free Solo 2) @ Laemmle's (film)
An intimate portrait of Marc-André Leclerc, a visionary solo climber driven by a simple love of the mountains, The Alpinist is produced by Red Bull Media House in association with Sender Films (The Dawn Wall) and was an official selection of 2020 Telluride and SXSW Film Festivals. Marc-André Leclerc climbs alone, far from the limelight. On remote alpine faces, the free-spirited 23-year-old Canadian makes some of the boldest solo ascents in history. Yet, he draws scant attention. With no cameras, no rope, and no margin for error, Leclerc's approach is the essence of solo adventure. Nomadic and publicity shy, he doesn’t own a phone or car, and is reluctant to let a film crew in on his pure vision of climbing. The Alpinist @ laemmle.com

Veteran filmmaker Peter Mortimer (The Dawn Wall) sets out to make a film about Leclerc but struggles to keep up with his elusive subject. Then Leclerc embarks on a historic adventure in Patagonia that will redefine what is possible in solo climbing. Behind the Scenes in the making of The Alpinist, featuring stunning behind the scenes and making-of footage and interviews with key crew members.
