| Summary: | The image of “mountain (film) person” has undergone considerable changes and differentiations over the past decades. This paper takes a closer look at the upcoming Mountain Film Festivals, focusing on the aesthetic and social meaning of an imagined mountain and climbing community. Initally, preliminary ideas and results of a diachronic comparison will be presented. For this purpose, the documentaries El Capitan (Fred Padula und Glen Denny, USA 1978) and The Dawn Wall (Josh Lowell and Peter Mortimer, USA 2017) are discussed, partially through the lens of Marcel Mauss’ “techniques of the body” and the issue of “toughening up.” The idea is that the adaptation of the body to the rock and its particular challenges was also construed through cinematic means, specifically the commanding, powerful character trope of the “mountain person.” |
