New Zealand Alpine Club announces the return of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour for its 16th year in May and June 2018.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival, a programme of Banff Centre, is the largest, and one of the most prestigious, mountain festivals in the world. Hot on the heels of the festival held every autumn in Banff, Canada, the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour hits the road, returning to New Zealand from the 19th May to 23rd June 2018.
NZAC activities which have been supported by previous film festivals include safety projects, crag repair, training of volunteers, hut maintenance, access and conservation initiatives.
Traveling to exotic landscapes and remote cultures, bringing audiences up-close and personal with adrenaline-packed action sports, the 2017/2018 World Tour is an exhilarating and provocative exploration of the mountain world.
From approximately 400 films entered into the annual festival, award-winning films and audience favourites are among the films chosen to travel the globe.
Join the NZ Alpine Club when the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings the spirit of outdoor adventure to 13 locations around the country, with an exciting 25 screenings scheduled! For the very first time this includes a screening in the most iconic of NZ mountain locations, The Hermitage at Mt Cook Village.
This Club community event and fundraiser would not be possible without the support of Macpac, World Expeditions, Adventure South NZ, and Mt Hutt, Coronet Peak and The Remarkables ski fields!
