The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is bringing a night of adrenaline-fuelled adventure films to the Hall for Cornwall, Truro, on March 26 to 27.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival features two new collections of short films packed with extreme expeditions, intrepid characters and stunning cinematography.
As well as gripping films, each event features a free prize draw for outdoorsy goodies from the tour’s partners. Now in its 16th year, the UK and Ireland tour will visit 50 locations in spring and autumn 2025.
Film highlights include:
- A Team Sport
Ultra-runner Courtney Dauwalter is one of the greatest athletes in the history of the sport, and she’s testing the limits of body and mind even further. Courtney has challenged herself to tackle three iconic 100-mile races back-to-back in one summer, including the legendary Tour du Mont Blanc in the Alps. A Team Sport explores how Courtney sees herself as the latest rung in a long ladder of women redefining the boundaries of trail running.
- Of A Lifetime
It’s the ultimate adventure destination. Of A Lifetime follows three extreme skiers and snowboarders as they sail across the notorious Drake Passage to ride the unimaginably steep, icy lines of Antarctica. Set against the breath-taking backdrop of the White Continent, the film also highlights a poignant passing of the adventure baton to the next generation.
- Soul Flyers – The Longest Line
Witness the longest terrain-flying wingsuit line in history. Jumping in formation, Fred Fugen, Vincent Cotte and Aurélien Chatard travel an incredible 7.5km over the stunning landscape of Mont Blanc, passing mountaineers, glaciers, ice cracks and cliffs as they speed their way to a world record. This film takes the viewer up and into the middle of the action.
