Memento: A Boulder Life Line

Memento (Latin for reminder) is one of the boulder problems found and solved by Zangerl in the mountains of Silvretta (the mountain range which crosses the border between Switzerland and Austria).

The film is exceptional in many ways. The effort involved, for example: the film was shot not with a digicam, but on 16mm celluloid. Some 400kg of equipment - including a crane - had to be transported to the far-flung locations in Tessin, in the Magic Wood in Switzerland's Averstal and the mountains of Silvretta. Filming could only be carried out whenever the weather promised optimum lighting conditions - the 14 days of shooting were therefore spread over two years.

Memento pushed not only the limits on bouldering, but the film has also changed the way climbing films are made. An excellent film featuring some breathtaking locations.

More Info

"Memento" includes some boulder shots of the kind of detail never before seen. The film not only shows some spectacular high balls, but also attempts to show the motivation behind and procedures involved in bouldering. The result is a film which oozes inner calm, which follows the main protagonist on the rock face and in his thoughts. "To dive into this small world is for me to forget everything around me, only concentrate on the next move," says Bernd Zangerl of his passion. "Everything becomes very simple and things just happen - and sometimes, sometimes the outside world no longer exists. It's always a journey, a journey into the unknown ... and waking up in my dreams!"
