Best of Banff: captivating short films from the wild and remote corners of the world

From an insane 1500km skiing journey across the polar ice cap, to the niche whitewater sport of squirt boating and mountain biking across the unique landforms of Cappadocia in Turkey —  the Banff Mountain Film Festival will have you on the edge of your seat.

The world's most prestigious mountain film festival is coming back to Orange next  Thursday, 26 May and will be presenting more than two-and-a-half hours of the most enthralling mountain adventure films from Canada’s famous nine-day international festival.

The curated selection of short films has been selected from the more than 300 films entered into the festival each year.

Summit the peaks of Nepal, witness a world first crossing of the North Pole in winter, ski steep slopes, ride breathtaking trails at breakneck speed, and get some serious airtime; the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour stories are chosen to celebrate more than outdoor exploration.

They also celebrate the character-building that adventure inevitably sparks: inner explorations of human bonds, trust, and how we value one another and our world.

Catch all the adventure of the 2022 Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour at the Orange Civic Theatre on Thursday, May 26 from 7pm.

Tickets are available online at Ticketek or call 6393 8111.
