Attention all outdoor enthusiasts and adventure addicts – be sure to book your seats for the eagerly anticipated annual Banff International Mountain Film Festival. This year is a goodie and offers a range of engaging movies on the big screen. Eleven films, which form part of the world tour, will be shown at Ster-Kinekor cinemas in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Pretoria. Banff screens from 3 and 12 November, 2017.
Epic adventure locations
Featuring the best mountain films and exceptional filmmaking talent from around the globe, the festival offers something for everyone with a mix of topics and cinematic styles that will inspire and entertain. Once again, audiences get the chance to experience some of the world’s most epic adventure locations – from Iceland’s frosty surf spots and Utah’s canyon country, to Siberia’s snowy slopes and the plains of Patagonia – all from the comfort (and safety) of world-class cinemas.
Base-jumping, bouldering, rowing
All types of outdoor adventure such as surfing and skiing, base-jumping and bouldering, rowing and trail running, are captured in the films. They also range in duration from the heart-warming and humorous 9-minute Ace and the Desert Dog, and 5-minute art piece Metronomic, to the 27-minute inspirational documentary Young guns.
Attendees also get to see this year’s winning submission from the annual Cape Union Mart Adventure Film Challenge – One Fly at a Time by Dewald Brand. The competition gets local adventurers and athletes to capture and celebrate South Africa’s outdoors culture.
