If you love incredible mountain adventures, the BANFF Film Festival is sure to impress. Selected shorts from this acclaimed festival will be showing at some Ster-Kinekor cinemas around the country from 25 October to 3 November.
For the 15th year, Cape Union Mart brings this well-supported international film festival to South Africa, giving armchair adventurers all they crave in terms of cinematic brilliance. From adrenalin pumping epic skiing, surfing and mountain-biking journeys to fierce climbing and running excursions, each shot in different awe-inspiring locations around the world, viewers will be both moved and inspired by the sportsmanship of all involved.
This year’s shorts, imported from the official film festival selection, feature unbelievable stories of people going beyond their limits and re-defining mountain sports. From following the journey of the first woman to complete one of the hardest graded climbs to running alongside a 97-year-old man up mountains, there is no shortage of inspiring stories among this year’s films. Even the most unenthusiastic mountaineer can’t help but leave this screening ready to take on a challenge.
Two South African documentary shorts from the Cape Union Mart Adventure Film Challenge 2019 will also be shown. Kloof Corner Ridge and Free Diver both document outdoor adventure enthusiasts doing what they do best, whether it’s running up the side of Table Mountain or freediving into the depths.
