Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour

Wannabe adventurers and cinephiles alike should enjoy this festival dedicated to the most daredevil short films. Spectators will be able to take in impressive feats of human endurance and athleticism, stunning cinematography, and some of the most breathtaking and remote locations on earth. As usual, the programme is split into two strands, each comprising of six shorts of varying lengths. This year’s selection will take you sailing through Antarctica’s notorious Drake Passage, rock-climbing in the Peruvian Andes, trail-running on Mont Blanc, kayaking around Norway’s most remote archipelago and mountain-biking in the Dolomites, all from the comfort of your seat at Islington’s atmospheric Union Chapel. It’s a night of 1,000 gasps.
