Alone Across Norway - 2000
- 18 anni fa
Una “scalata” di 3000 km , in solitario, lungo la catena montuosa di un’intera terra: la Norvegia. Un’avventura di cinque mesi nel cuore dell’inverno artico, attraversando le montagne più selvagge e isolate d’Europa. L’alpinista Ario Sciolari è impegnato in un’impresa al confine tra la sfida con la natura e la ricerca interiore. Partito il 22 novembre 2000 dal faro di capo Lindesness, punto più meridionale della Norvegia, ha iniziato la sua avventura in bicicletta, proseguendo dopo i primi 300 km con sci e pulca (slitta con cui porta l’attrezzatura, il cibo e i vestiti) per raggiungere dopo cinque mesi di cammino la penisola di Nordkjinn, il punto più settentrionale del continente europeo. Accompagnato da due cuccioli di lupo, Sciolari, si è inoltrato per un territorio selvaggio e sconfinato, dove le temperature raggiungono i –50° e il buio dell’inverno artico rende il suo isolamento ancora più estremo.
A lone, 3,000 km climb that lasted four months, along the mountainous range of Norway. Five months in the heart of the Arctic cold, through the wildest and most isolated mountains of Europe. The cold and the immense spaces, the dark and the light, solitude, courage and a lot of snow, accompanied the adventures of Ario Sciolari. The documentary was prolonged to 18 months. The film is in part of Ario and, in part, of the crew that caught up with him at certain stages, making certain, however, not to interfere with the solitary aspect of the experience. At a certain point, Ario has to part ways with some wolf cubs he befriended due to the onset of hunting season. The video camera is his only companion, like a diary, and later, even more like a confidante.
