Double Bill: E11 follows Dark Glow of the Mountains

E11 tells the story behind the first ascent of Rhapsody, a route considered to be the hardest traditional rock climb in the world. Told in an offbeat dramadoc style the film attempts to understand what it takes to climb a route of this standard. e11 strives to get inside the head of its first ascentionist, the understated yet quite remarkable Dave MacLeod. Oh yeah, it's also packed full of ankle smashing, gear ripping, monster falls!

By Order Of Things (Vom Ordnen Der Dinge) (2013)

A sympathetic film about unusual people and unusual habits. Collectors, counters, surveyors, “self-optimisers” – they all believe in the explainability of the world, giving order to chaos. The problem is when it no longer takes place only in the minds of individuals but also the complex bureaucracy of the state - and mutates into a lumbering monster.
