The Summit of the Gods (Afternoon Adventures)
In Kathmandu, Japanese reporter Fukamachi thinks he recognizes Habu Jôji, the mountaineer thought to have disappeared years ago. He appears to be holding a camera that could change the history of mountaineering.
"A prominent and profound discussion on men's desire to surpass nature. An aesthetic and philosophical tale, realistic, full of suspense, which will interest more than just fans of alpine sports." (Bande-à-part.com)
"A totally astonishing animated film. With its meticulous direction, incredible shots, wintery designs and drawings, and transporting music, how can you not be moved by this film with such deep values. Breathtaking." (Écran Large)
"What Imbert has done here, some years down the line, may solidify The Summit of the Gods, a work of fiction, as one of the greatest Everest films ever made. If nothing else it’s the Everest film that respects the mountain best." (The Playlist)
