MIGUEL DELIBES
Thursday December 15 – 19:30 Sala BBK
Miguel Delibes de Castro is one of the most relevant figures in the field of knowledge, defence and protection of our natural environments: doctor in biology, director for many years of the Doñana National Park, prominent member of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature is, without a doubt, the main architect of the survival of the Iberian lynx. In his lecture he offers his particular vision on the keys and commitments necessary to face the challenge of achieving something as complex and as simple as that life, understood in its broadest and deepest sense, can continue.

MICHAEL DILLON
Friday December 16 – 19:30 Sala BBK
The International Alliance for Mountain Film’s 2022 Grand Prize has been awarded to Australian director Michael Dillon, in recognition of his lifetime’s work in the field of mountain film. Highlights of his career include 25 years as Sir Edmund Hillary’s filmmaker, and his filming of three significant Australian Everest expeditions, including a never since repeated sea level to summit climb which he conceived and filmed. That film “Everest Sea to Summit” won eight Grand Prizes worldwide and is considered one of the greatest adventure films of all time.
