Thanks Phil for putting out the info regarding the Southern Faces screening. I produced the film and can add in a few more details. Below is a general speal we've been sending out to people, for more info get in touch with me at jonathonclearwater@gmail.com. Also, the film premiere is not a fundraiser for the expedition to Pakistan. I am off to Pakistan next month, but they're completely separate endeavours.

Fresh from a win at the 2005 Wanaka Mountain Film Festival, "Southern
Faces" is all set for its Australian premiere on July 4th in Sydney.

Southern Faces is a feature length film about the NZ climbing scene.
It's a comprehensive film that covers all aspects of rock climbing,
from bouldering to sport routes, to multi-pitch trad lines. It's about
Kiwi climbers in their element pushing their personal limits (and in
some cases pushing the limits of sanity). The film is not just a
hard-cranking climbing video. The film-makers try and capture the
current South Island climbing scene and have included loads of
information and interviews at each of the areas they feature: Paynes,
Charleston, Castle Hill, Port Hills, Dunedin, Wanaka and the Darrans.
Highlights include Derek Thatcher on his grade 32 testpiece
Catalepsies at the Babylon Wall, rare footage of a slightly icy ascent
of the classic alpine rock route Labyrinth in the Darrans and a
kick-ass soundtrack.

Details as follows:

Southern Faces Australian Premiere
