The Banff Film Festival continues this week with stops in Watford at the Watford Colosseum (Friday night) and Torquay at the Babbacombe Theatre on Saturday night. It then heads north again next week to Matlock Bath, Yarm, Whitley Bay and Glasgow.
This year's film programme features three climbing films (two on the Red Programme and one on the Blue):
- DRAWN - Follow climber Jeremy Collins as he embarks on four expeditions, from the Venezuelan Amazon, to the China-Mongolian Border, to the northern reaches of Canada, and to Yosemite Valley in California.
- SUFFERFEST 2 - Experience a true sufferfest with Cedar Wright and Alex Honnold as they attempt to climb 45 of America's most iconic desert towers - all linked together by bike! This film has it all: gale force winds, hard climbing, snow, a puppy, huge desert towers, loose rock, and a lot of suffering!
- STONEMASTERS - In the 1970's a legendary group of climbers known as the "Stonemasters" arrived in Yosemite Valley. They applied their talents to free-climbing and performed some of the most impressive climbs of that era. This portrait of the Stonemasters (which is part of the longer multi award-winning Valley Uprising film) highlights their meteoric rise to fame and Lynn Hill's legendary free one-day ascent of The Nose on El Capitan.
Other films feature speedriding and skiing in Alaska and Patagonia, MTB in Scotland, surfing in the Arctic and paragliding through the French Alps.
