HILLARY-OCEAN TO SKY In 1953, the same year Sir Edmund Hillary climbed Everest, a new kind of boat was invented in his homeland New Zealand. The jetboat. In these boats, Hillary, the first man to climb the Himalayas greatest mountain, would also try to be the first to climb the Himalayas greatest river, the Ganges. It was soon a er the tragic death of his wife and youngest daughter in a plane crash. And Hillary, deeply depressed, hoped this would be a healing journey. But just when India had woven its healing magic, Hillary’s own life becomes in deep peril, and his son and his best friends try desperately to save him.

The film had a successful cinema run in New Zealand just before Covid-19, including a five star review. It has recently been released in Australia screening at 15 Hoyts cinemas around Australia. LOCAL CONNECTION. The special screening at Narooma has been arranged by local resident Sue Vader whose mother, journalist Clair Spencer, accompanied the original expedi on in 1977 MICHAEL DILLON AM Michael’s filmmaking career began at the age of twelve when he made his first film “The History of the Earth”. Hampered by the lack of a camera he made the whole film using his Derwent pencils on a long strip of paper which he ran frame by frame through a cinema he made from his meccano set. A decade later he bought a real camera from Skippy the bush Kangaroo ( from the Produc on Company, not the kangaroo) and went to the Himalayas to make a film. That film saw him chosen to film Hillary’s Ocean to Sky expedi on. He became Sir Edmund Hillary’s official filmmaker, making six documentaries with him including the Na onal Geographic Special “Return to Everest”. Michael has been filming adventures for fi y years. He has filmed three Australian Everest expedi ons including the only climb of Everest that began at Sea level. This film “Everest Sea to Summit” was awarded the Grand Prize at eight Interna onal Mountain Film Fes vals. Why this totally new film of an old expedi on? Michael says "This was Hillary’s and all the par cipants most unforge able expedi on. Given that, there was mo va on to use the amazing new scanning techniques developed by Lord of the Rings filmmaker Peter Jackson in New Zealand, that can make old footage fill the big screen so brilliantly and realis cally that the audience feel that they too were there. "Essen ally, we wanted to share with everyone the best experience of our lives. We also wanted to share many untold stories, some very funny, some very moving. Those who went on the expedi on were Hillary’s best friends, people who made him laugh, and brilliant storytellers. They are our storytelling companions on this journey that was led by a man they all loved, Sir Edmund Hillary. This film also helps us to understand why."
