Filmed over a brisk late September weekend, David Goldman’s new short follows champion fell runner Finlay Wild as he navigates the foothills of Ben Nevis in Scotland. “You can be alone with your thoughts in the mountains, or enjoy them with friends,” says Wild, winner of the last four consecutive annual races across the mountainside. “It’s about being free, light and fast in spectacular places.” The landscape of today’s film holds particular significance for the Fort William-based athlete, who grew up in the area as the son of a mountain guide. “The sport is childlike in its simplicity,” says filmmaker Goldman, who took it up himself after reading Richard Askwith’s Feet in Clouds: A Tale of Fell-Running and Obsession. “You can easily imagine it [first started] as a group of guys standing at the bottom of a mountain, wondering how to run to the top and straight down again. It’s very primal.”
