Banff Film Festival returns with a new level of adventure

The Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour will return to Noosa on 3-4 May, showcasing a curated selection of inspiring outdoor films.

Known as the most prestigious mountain film festival in the world, films are selected out of as many as 400 entries from global filmmakers.

Touring around every state and territory in the country, this year’s epic adventure line up honours the core belief of the film festival to motivate, inspire and prove that life is what you make it.

Australian festival tour host, Jemima Robinson remarks on this years phenomenal films.

“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.

Featuring seven captivating films from adventurers around the globe, the 2023 World Tour is an exhilarating and provocative exploration of the adventure world. Give your adventure dreams more oxygen this year with a ticket to the 2023 Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour.
