The film line-up for the 2016 Banff Mountain Film Festival UK Tour has just been announced! Check out http://www.banff-uk.com/films for all the details

The Tour will feature the world's best new climbing and adventure films across two entirely different film programmes - the Red and Blue programmes. Each of the programmes will showcase a diverse collection of the newest and very best adventure and climbing films.

Some of the films that will feature include:
A LINE ACROSS THE SKY, 40 mins Best Film - Climbing
The Fitz Roy traverse is one of the most sought after achievements in modern alpinism. Long considered impossible, coveted by many and attempted by a few, the Fitz Traverse has fueled the imaginations of climbers in Patagonia for decades. Tracing the iconic skyline of Cerro Fitz Roy and its six satellite peaks, it spans four miles and 13,000 feet across snow and ice-covered rock. Seizing their chance during a rare extended weather window, Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold went big. The pair completed the first ascent in a five-day push, earning them the prestigious Piolet d’Or award.

OPERATION MOFFAT, 20 mins Special Jury Mention
Operation Moffat takes inspiration and wit from the colorful climbing life of Britain’s first female mountain guide Gwen Moffat. Writer Claire Carter and filmmaker Jen Randall scramble, swim and barefoot climb through Gwen’s landscapes, grappling with her preference for mountains over people, adventure over security and wilderness over tick lists.

ECLIPSE, 31 mins Best Film - Snow Sports
The odds are low, the risks are high - photographer Reuben Krabbe is determined to capture an impossible photo of a skier in front of the 2015 solar eclipse in Svalbard. Up in the high arctic though, the weather is bad, the guide is sketchy, the pressure is massive, and the skiers just want to ski.

UNBRANDED, 43 mins People’s Choice Award
Four young Texas horseman hatch an outrageous plan to adopt, train and ride a string of wild horses 3,000 miles from the Mexican border to Canada through some of the American West’s wildest terrain. Their aim is to prove the worth of wild horses and raise awareness about their plight. What ensues is an epic journey of self-discovery, danger, friendship and big landscapes that entails runaway horses, perilous mountain passes, debilitating injuries, and one sassy donkey.

The tour will visit more than 55 theatres across the UK and Ireland and the UK premiere is set for Leeds Town Hall on 27 January 2016.

Tickets are available from venues nationwide - head to http://banff-uk.com for more Tour details.
