Dispenser

"Dispenser", the first Italian documentary entirely dedicated to bouldering, brings together some of the protagonists of the Italian scene, who have resurrected from the past an activity that remained silent for a long time. The director, climber Marzio Nardi, here brings to life one of his obsessions: bouldering, in all the ways in which we can experience it: in competition, while traveling, at the gym, during an ordinary day spent among the rocks, or through the gestures of a climber. The early competitions, gatherings and personalities that brought bouldering to life influenced the growth of climbing as we know it today.

Directed by Marzio Nardi, Dispenser leans on a strong ensemble — Marzio Nardi, Christian Core, Riccardo Scarian — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2002.
