Summary (posted on Monday afternoon, 6th Nov):

Come watch the English premiere of E11 and the world premiere of Set In Stone at the Showroom Cinema in Sheffield. Following the films Both Dave MacLeod and Dave Birkett will answer questions from the audience.

E11 tells the story behind the first ascent of Rhapsody, a route now considered to be the hardest tradition rock climb in the world. Told in an offbeat dramadoc style the film attempts to understand what it takes to climb a route of this standard. E11 strives to get inside the head of its first ascentionist, the understated yet quite remarkable Dave MacLeod. Oh yeah, it’s also packed full of ankle smashing, gear ripping, monster falls!		'SET IN STONE - profile of a Lakeland climber', featuring one of the UK's greatest traditional climbers Dave Birkett. 'Set in Stone' charters Dave's remarkable passion for climbing and the pursuit for a magical line on his beloved Lakeland crags. Featuring the first ascent of 'Return of the King' E9 6c, Dave's latest addition to Scafell's East Buttress - just one of many Lakeland masterpieces including the extraordinary "Nowt Burra Flee'in Thing" (E8 6c) - Cam Crag, Wasdale Screes; a stunningly evocative line. All filmed using innovative techniques, including 'The Brief History of Birkett ' animation which covers the 70 year Birkett family legacy.
