The Gnarl Whal’s Odyssey with James Klemmensen

Look forward to this film and so many more with the VIMFF fall series starting on November 12th to the 20th. The Gnar Whal's Odyssey will screen at the Rio in Vancouver on the 18th and you can stream all films starting on November 12th until December 18th. This is the story of four ordinary Squamish climbers pursuing a big dream – to put up first ascents in the Canadian Arctic. With limited information and a lot of ambition, Amanda Bischke, James Klemmensen, Noah Besen, and Shira Biner embark on a human powered adventure. With over six weeks of food packed, they walk across frozen oceans, sea kayak, and hike along the east coast of Baffin Island. 75km away, their destination, the Coronation Glacier, has yet to see a climbing expedition. Whether they succeed or not, it’s sure to be a grand adventure.
