'Embracing the Grim' follows Piolets d’Or nominated alpinists Fay Manners and Line van den Berg to the winter landscape of the Highlands on an ambitious mixed climbing mission beset by typically fickle weather.
Tragically, since filming, van den Berg lost her life in an avalanche in the Swiss Alps. This poignant film was finished in her memory.
'In My Phantom' van den Berg questioning what it means to be a woman in the elite climbing community.
For years, the Dutch woman searched for the 'perfect' female climbing partner to share her passion for mountains and to join the struggle of being an athlete in a male-dominated sport.
