Fly from Everest – QLD Premiere Red Carpet Launch Event

In 2022, Australian mountaineer Ken Hutt (63), set off to do something that's never been done before - to climb and then fly a solo paraglider from Mt Everest, all in the name of raising funds and awareness for Rotary's End Polio Now campaign.

QUT School of Creative Practice staff member Dr Joe Carter (Senior Lecturer in Film & TV) filmed and directed the documentary, researching and filming in some of Australia's best paragliding locations and for 3 months on location in the Nepalese Himalaya.

Fly from Everest is an epic story of adventure, sacrifice and daring - with an incredible ending no-one saw coming.

A Special Red Carpet Premiere with Q&A session after the screening

After the screening of the film, members of the Fly from Everest climbing team Ken Hutt and Marcus Loane will be joined on stage for a Q&A by Polio survivor Gary Newton and also the film's director, QUT's own Senior Lecturer in Film Dr Joe Carter.

This special red-carpet event includes complimentary nibbles and there is bar service before and after the screening. ALL proceeds from ticket sales and donations will go directly to Rotary's End Polio Now campaign.
