Glen Plake movie screens this Wednesday
The second of the La Montagne Fait Son Cinéma movies is showing on Wednesday night at the Cinema Vox.
The mountain film series La Montagne Fait Son Cinéma has been put together by Association des Amis du Cinéma, and is inspired by a book about films shot in and around Chamonix. The series showcases films by local directors, climbing and mountaineering documentaries, and a few recent productions, including a film from the Kendal Mountain Festival.
"The Blizzard of Aahhhs", is a "Rock-u-mentary" style "cult classic" from 1988 that profiles little-known and famed heroes of the ski world, from Chamonix Valley to Squaw Valley in California, in a humorous and personal manner. The first of its kind, "The Blizzard of Aahhhs" is cited as the inspiration to reside in Chamonix from many current expats living in the valley.
Guest Glen Plake, one of the skiers in "The Blizzards of Aahhhs" and also one of the judges in this week's Nissan Outdoor Games, made a name for himself with his huge Mohawk and punk style of skiing, and is still a passionate enthusiast who spends half his year in Chamonix.
Check it out this Wednesday evening 19:15 at the Cinema Vox, Chamonix.
