Join us in-person at the Rio Theatre, April 1-2.

Reel Rock 19 showcases three world-premiere climbing films spanning disciplines, characters, and continents:

a heartfelt story of second chances in love and climbing on Squamish’s legendary Cobra Crack; an outrageous 18-day big wall epic on Patagonia’s towering Torre Central; and the pursuit of a lifelong dream—a 5.15 first ascent—made possible by an unlikely partnership.

The Film Lineup

Death of Villains

Featuring: Kai Lightner & Joe Kinder & Connie Lightner

A former child climbing-prodigy confronts his struggle with disordered eating to attempt his life-long dream of climbing a groundbreaking 5.15 first ascent, with the help of an unlikely, and controversial partner.

Riders on the Storm

Featuring: Siebe Vanhee, Sean Villanueva O’Driscoll & Nico Favresse

Three Belgian big-wallers endure eighteen days of howling snowstorms, frozen feet, and gnarly runouts in their attempt to make a long-coveted alpine first ascent.

The Cobra & The Heart

Featuring: Didier Berthod, Thomasina Pidgeon & Cedar Pidgeon, Joe Kinder, Drew Smith & more.

A turbulent 20-year saga of love, loss, and redemption: a whirlwind romance, a crushing defeat on a legendary climb, a religious epiphany, and family betrayal, all building to a desperate bid for a rare second chance—at love, fatherhood, and climbing.
