#KILITHON – The Movie

Director: Maciek Jabłoński
Release: April 2018

“Kilithon – The Movie” is the documentary release about the first, pilot edition of Kilimanjaro Extreme Marathon on December 2017. The whole material was produced by Maciek Jabloński from F11 Pracownia, who took a part of the 5-days trekking to the summit, covered almost the whole the marathon route during the event in 9th December and finally let the camera accompanied the #kilithon crew during 2 days of safari in NgoroNgroro and Serengeti.
Additional footage videos from private cameras of the rest of the crew are also included in this release. As an Organizer, we helped Maciek to manage more shots from the event with drone, which was used at the top of Uhuru Peak (5985 m.a.s.l.).
