The annual Banff mountain film festival world tour comes to South Africa this month, bringing with it films of adventures by ski, bike, rock, ropes and on water.
From Antarctica to Iceland, the annual Banff mountain film festival world tour visits 44 countries to bring films on exploration, adventure, culture, environment, and mountain films to growing audiences.
Eleven award-winning and audience-nominated Banff mountain film festival world tour films, selected from hundreds of submissions, will be shown at each screening in South Africa. These films range in duration from the intense-action two-minute kayaking video Into the ditch to the 37-minute documentary film And then we swam, winner of the Best exploration and adventure film category.
South African audiences will also be treated to the screening of an additional five-minute film, the winning submission from the Cape Union Mart adventure film challenge. This annual film competition encourages South African filmmakers and athletes to capture and celebrate local outdoor culture. V
