Mountain Saga 'Void' to Get U.S. Release

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - IFC Films has snapped up North American rights to "Touching the Void," a feature documentary about two climbers on a disastrous Andes trek.
The pact was concluded, appropriately enough, in the Colorado mountains last week at the Telluride Film Festival.
Based on the best-selling 1988 book by mountaineer Joe Simpson, "Void" was directed by Kevin MacDonald, who won an Oscar for the Munich Olympics documentary "One Day in September."
The film follows a disastrous climbing expedition by Simpson and his partner Simon Yates in the Peruvian Andes. Yates risked his life to rescue Simpson when he gravely injured himself as the duo climbed an uncharted mountain face. The film is heading to the Toronto Film Festival this month, and will roll out across North America next year.
