MONTE DISGRAZIA, L'ABISSO NELLA MENTE
PAOLO BONO
Italy / 1986 / 18'
This recounts the secret past between a man and a mountain, the extreme skier "Bianco" and Mount Disgrazia in Val Malenco. Bianco decided to ski down the north wall of Disgrazia, thought to be impossible, but he does it. He also makes the second descent of 700 m difference in height each. We also learn that the name Disgrazia has nothing to do with the disaster but comes from a word meaning "ice" in ancient dialect.
