The Race is a short film fuelled by Uli Wiesmeier's fascination for the impenetrable rocky spires of the Italian Dolomites.
The concept of the film is simple: a race between climber Stefan Glowacz and paraglider pilot Rob Whittall to the summit of Piz Pordoi in the Dolomites. But the film's qualities lie not in its plot but in its tempo, cinematography and in its conveying of the competitive ambition of two men as they both tackle unique challenges in their bids to scale a mountain.
The Race might have taken over two summers to complete, and Rob and Stefan may never speak to Uli again, but Uli has demonstrated that you must suffer for your art. The result: a technically brilliant film that hones right in on the emotions experienced by two flesh and bone, utterly fallible creatures taking on the mother of a mountain - and winning.
