The Banff Mountain Film Festival is returning to Noosa

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is returning to Noosa this May, bringing an inspiring selection of award-winning adventure films to the Sunshine Coast.

This year’s program features seven short films showcasing the most breathtaking stories from across the globe – from snowboarding on Antarctic icebergs, to wingsuit flying in the Swiss Alps, to an ultra-marathon runner pushing the limits of human endurance.

Among them is a standout film by a Melbourne-based emerging Australian filmmaker, bringing a fresh local perspective to this internationally acclaimed tour.

Whether you’re a mountain lover, surfer, runner, climber, or simply someone who appreciates stunning storytelling and the beauty of wild places, this screening is a must-see event for Noosa’s adventurous community.

Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour Australia director Jemima Robinson said, “The 2025 World Tour represents our most ambitious Australian program yet.”

“With 55 screenings planned across the country, we’re making these remarkable stories more accessible than ever to Australian audiences. But it’s not all extreme sports – there is something for even the armchair adventurer in this year’s program.”

Noosa screening highlights:

– Screening at The J on Wednesday 21 and Thursday 22 May from 7pm-10pm

– Seven inspiring adventure films from the 2024 Banff Mountain Film Festival in Canada

– Sports featured: snowboarding, climbing, mountain biking, ultra-running, wingsuit flying
