ALPINE CLUB EDELWEISS - BULGARIA

FILM PRODUCTION

home

One of the activities of Club Edelweiss is documentary films production for the environment, mountains, adventures and extreme sports. The beginning was placed in 1996, when with the help of the “Youth and Sport Committee”, we created our first movie “Extreme Sport” – dedicated to the mountain climbing and Vitosha Mountain. In the period of 1997—2001 we made the environmental series “Terra Incognita”, which represents the natural potential of different regions of Bulgaria. In 2001- 2002 we made the strictly sports related films about alpinism from the series of Alpine Connection and The Fair Sex. These movies, in accordance of the year they were made, are shown by several cable and broadcast TV stations such as BNT, NovaTV and Seven Days TV. During 2001 – 2003 we’ve realized three documentaries for programme Atlas for BNT and two advertising tourists movies, which were broadcasted by bTV.

Since 2003 we are working in close cooperation with the sport television channel Ring TV. The film series, which we are producing is called Vertical Frontier and is being broadcasted by RING TV regularly in different time zones. The test movie of the project is called The White Peak and is a story about the tourists climbing of Mont Blanc by Bulgarians. The subject of Vertical Frontier includes both sports and environmental movies.

In 2006 we produced the movie ”From the heart of the Andes” – video story about the Bulgarian expedition to Cordillera Blanca – Peru, South America.
