SXSW Film Festival: See the Climb that Rocked the World (and Even Got Obama Tweeting) #DawnWallFilm
Two thousand feet above the ground, Tommy Caldwell (@TommyCaldwell1) and Kevin Jorgeson were in the midst of their 19-day push to free climb the Dawn Wall of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. Beards shrouded their gaunt, sunburnt faces. Their hands were bloodied and beaten raw. As their tiny portal-edge camp, normally a lonesome refuge from society, became the focus of nearly every mainstream media spotlight, the story of these two climbers struggling to climb the Dawn Wall became an international sensation unlike the adventure world had ever before seen.
Tommy Caldwell is a rock-climbing icon, with a captivating story. At the age of 22, the young climbing prodigy was taken hostage by rebels in Kyrgyzstan. Shortly afterwards, he lost his index finger thanks to a table-saw accident, but resolved to come back stronger. When his marriage fell apart and he escaped the pain by fixating on the extraordinary goal of free climbing The Dawn Wall — the steepest, tallest section of El Capitan, a 3,000-foot granite monolith in Yosemite National Park — he didn’t realize he’d be undertaking the project of his lifetime.
The project was so difficult, he had trouble finding a climbing partner who could keep up, until Kevin Jorgeson — an unlikely boulderer who had never even climbed El Cap before — rose to the occasion.
Over 19 days, these two climbers pushed themselves harder than they’d ever thought possible, as the world, including President Obama, tuned in to see whether they would ever succeed.
SXSW is pleased to host the North American premiere of The Dawn Wall, a film by Red Bull Media House in association with Sender Films.

‘¡Las Sandinistas!’: How Hundreds of Source Materials Captured a Revolution
Jenny Murray’s documentary celebrates the women who fought for change, and upon receiving it, changed a country.
If modern politics are any indication, a political uprising daring to challenge those in power is necessary for ensuring a better tomorrow. A nation’s leaders are only of worth if they have their citizens’ best interests at heart, and in the case of Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza—the 73rd and 76th President of the Central American country where extreme poverty and violence ran rampant—a terrible leader can never be ousted quickly enough.
Fed up and fearing for their future, the Sandinista National Liberation Front (FSLN) took to ending Somoza’s reign by any means necessary (their motto was “freedom or death”), and their violent force was justified: when the opportunity arose, the FSLN was not against the taking of political hostages to ensure the release of their members (accompanied by a tidy ransom). Better, democratic living conditions were vital and, as became quickly apparent, impossible to obtain if Somoza remained in power.

Why ‘Good Editing Is Like Good Sex’
At Berlinale 2018, Susan Korda discussed secrets from the editing room.
“I don’t think we need to suffer in the editing room, but it’s truly where the chicken comes home to roost,” said Susan Korda, editor, producer, director, story consultant, and professor at Columbia University. In a workshop for editors at Berlinale this year, Korda shared some hard-won insights from her career as well as golden rules from Walter Murch (the rule of six) and William Faulker (“kill your darlings”). Breaking down scenes from Bonnie and Clyde and Jaws, Korda recreates the initial “Oh, shit!” experience in the editing room in order to reveal how courageous editing and the ability to surrender preconceived preferences can create a cinematic discovery from what initially appears to be a failure. After all, “God gave us digital to make the edit,” said Korda.
Below, we have highlighted some of Korda’s most salient editing tips.
