Still from Liv Along the Way
After losing his wife of 68 years, George Etzweiler did what he knew best: he ran. And he kept running, setting the record for the oldest participant in the annual race up New Hampshire's Mount Washington each year. Etzweiler's inspiring journey is captured in a short film, For The Love Of Mary, which will be screened at Banff Mountain Film Festival.
The other 10 films to be screened include Rogue Elements: Corbet's Couloir (2017, USA), Liv Along the Way (2018, Canada), This Mountain Life: Coast Range Traverse Segment (2018, Canada), Far Out - Kia Jones (2018, USA), The Mirnavator (2017, USA), Surface (2018, USA), Dream Ride 3 (2018, Canada), The Beaver Believers: Meet Sherri Tippie (2018, USA), Reel Rock 12: Break on Through (2017, USA) and Skier vs. Drone (2018, Canada).
