Oversand (1981)

Oversand is one of the first films on free climbing, the third film in a series of three with "Overdon" in the Verdon, and "Over-Ice" in the icefalls of Oisans. Directed by Jean-Paul Janssen with French-speaking "climbing aces" of the time: Patrick Edlinger, Patrick Bérhault, Bernard Gorgeon, Hugues Jaillet, Jacques Perrier, Stéphane Troussier and Odette Schoënleb. The film, very visual and without dialogue, is shot in 35mm in Algeria, in the Sahara desert, in the region of Tamanrasset, in the parishes of the mountains of the Hoggar massif, under the eye of Tuareg caravans.
