The International Alliance for Mountain Film’s 2022 Grand Prize has been awarded to Australian director Michael Dillon, in recognition of his lifetime’s work in the field of mountain film. Highlights of his career include 25 years as Sir Edmund Hillary’s filmmaker, and his filming of three significant Australian Everest expeditions, including a never since repeated sea level to summit climb which he conceived and filmed. That film “Everest Sea to Summit” won eight Grand Prizes worldwide and is considered one of the greatest adventure films of all time.
