“Each year the bar is raised with incredible people going on the most daring, yet inspiring adventures,” she said.

“We’ll all be motivated to live life to the fullest as we watch amazing people do the impossible. Whether its gliding down the slopes with the world’s most creative freeskiers, or following a Sherpa family as they clean up Mount Everest during the Pandemic, or watching French kayaker Nouria Newman prepare to become the first female to run a 30m waterfall, or cheering on a Brazilian engineer as he hopes to break the record for the world’s highest slackline walk.”

Each film has been carefully selected through a long process of voting from 400 films, down to 80 films that then screen at the nine day long film festival in Banff, Canada.

From this selection, a program of over two hours of thought-provoking films, with subject matter ranging from remote landscapes and cultures to adrenaline-packed action sports are selected by Mrs Robinson to tour Australia each April, May and June and are uniquely chosen for Australian audiences.
