Captain J.B. Noel was referred to as 'St. Noel of the Cameras' by General Bruce, leader of the 1922 Everest Expedition. Noel photographed and filmed the 1922 and 1924 Everest Expeditions and can be seen here kinematographing the ascent of Mt Everest from the Chang La in 1922.
The summiting of great peaks is a continuing quest. This screening provides rare examples of such exploits on film, preserved for the Society by the BFI National Archive. Organised by the Younger Members’ Committee. All welcome.
