The Ulju World Mountain Film Festival Special Contribution Award was specially prepared to remember and share the indomitable spirit of mountaineer Kim Hong-bin, the first disabled person to complete all 14 Himalayan eight-thousanders. The award ceremony will take place at the opening ceremony on April 1.
Along with the award ceremony, during the festival, visitors can also experience exhibitions and videos that reexamine the life of Kim Hong-bin, an indomitable mountaineer and a tireless challenger.
Under the theme ‘Life Beyond the Mountain,’ the Kim Hong-bin Special Contribution Award exhibition will showcase photos from the Kim Hong-bin mountain photography exhibition at the Gwangju Museum of Art, along with various videos and materials conveying messages of hope from Kim Hong-bin, to be displayed throughout the festival period.
Additionally, the KBS documentary ‘Life Beyond the Mountain of Mountaineer Kim Hong-bin,’ which aired last August, will also be screened.
During the festival, on April 3, at Alps Cinema 2, there will be a screening followed by a session where colleagues who joined the Broad Peak expedition share stories about his challenges.
The Ulju World Mountain Film Festival Secretariat expressed hope that, like the late Captain’s words, “The precious life I must live as a messenger of hope makes me happy,” this event will always resonate with hope in people’s hearts.
