If you’ve been dreaming of wild, winter getaways and Canadian adventures – this definitely won’t help. What it will do however is allow you to live vicariously until we are once again able to fly head-first down snowy mountain sides, whenever that may be! After the original event was cancelled due to COVID-19 back in May, The Banff Mountain Film Festival is finally happening! Featuring a collection of snippets from around the globe that capture the spirit of mountain adventure, The 2020 Banff Mountain Film Festival is a three-hour celebration of the mountain and adventure sport world, sharing some of the most exhilarating short films from explorers, mountain bikers, skiers, paddlers and climbers from around the globe.
The tour is hot on the heels of the largest and most prestigious mountain festivals in the world, the Banff Mountain Festival, which takes place every November in the mountain town of Banff, in Canada.
More than 300 of the world’s best mountain sport, culture, environment, adventure, and exploration films are shown during the week-long event. A selection of award winners and audience favourites then tours the globe, visiting 390 communities and 35 countries as part of the festival’s official world tour. This year, the Australian line-up features two-and-a-half hours of captivating short films shot in some of the most wild and remote corners of the world. The program is packed full of mesmerising cinematography, thought-provoking storylines and adrenaline-inducing action sequences.
The original and the best mountain film festival is presented by World Expeditions and will be screening at the HOTA on the Gold Coast. For more details visit Banff Australia.
