Everest, 2025, 4:37, experimental boxing documentary, screened at Antimatter, Victoria B.C., October 23, 2025, photo by Dave Johnson

Everest is an experimental boxing documentary. The work is structured as a series of four fights. The fights are introduced by a commentator, followed by a spotlight on boxers, then three or four bouts until finally, Everest, the fight of the century. The work is constructed from a found black and white 16mm, non-theatrical circulating film from the 1940’s? An 800 ft. film with a cartoon, girl singer and three short documentary subjects which might have been shown in pre-television days in a community hall. The fight segment of the film was cut into one-foot sections which were scraped, scratched, misted and splattered, imagery of boxing injury, then reassembled with a commentator, the girl singer from the first film segment and cut together out of sequence in a rhythmic way to make an experimental boxing documentary.
