Directions

What to expect

The directors of Free Solo follow Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson, a couple who share one ambition: to climb the north face of Everest and ski back down it. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin have made a career of people at the edge of what a body will do. 113 minutes, in the Journey strand

Worth knowing

The date, time and venue here are the ones the BFI published in its own programme announcement. Booking is through the festival’s box office, which we could not load from this desk, so the price and what is left are on the BFI’s page rather than ours.

Nearby

Soho has the nearest stations and everything else on in the same part of town. Filed under Film.
