The Banff Mountain Film Festival Tour returns to NSW next month with screenings from Byron Bay to Albury, Sydney to Coffs Harbour – and one at Avoca Beach on Thursday, May 29.
Bringing breathtaking global adventure stories to local audiences across the state, this year’s program features seven incredible films, including one by a rising Australian filmmaker from Melbourne, whose work will tour alongside jaw-dropping snowboarding on Antarctic icebergs, wingsuit flying in the Swiss Alps, and mountain biking through the Dolomites.
Whether it’s in major cities or regional theatres, the tour offers NSW audiences a rare chance to experience world-class adventure cinema, celebrating nature, resilience and human connection.
Described as the world’s most prestigious mountain film festival, this year’s tour is set to captivate Australian audiences with an unprecedented 55 screenings across 28 cities, marking its most extensive Australian tour to date.
Following its acclaimed launch at the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival in Alberta, Canada, the World Tour brings a curated selection of the festival’s most inspiring and adrenaline-filled films to Australian shores.
This year’s line-up includes breathtaking footage of daring athletes snowboarding on Antarctic icebergs, an intimate journey with an accomplished ultra-marathon runner pushing her personal limits, a heart-stopping survival story of climbing mishaps, an adrenaline-fuelled mountain biking adventure through Italy’s legendary Dolomites with a professional rider, and the extreme precision of wingsuit flying in the Swiss Alps.
“The 2025 World Tour represents our most ambitious Australian program yet,” Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour in Australia director Jemima Robinson said.
“With 55 screenings planned across the country, we’re making these remarkable stories more accessible than ever to Australian audiences.
“But it’s not all extreme sports – there is something for even the armchair adventurer in this year’s program.”
The tour will feature award-winning films capturing the spirit of mountain adventure, from heart-pounding climbing expeditions to thought-provoking shorts.
Audiences can expect stunning cinematography showcasing remote landscapes, inspiring athletic achievements and powerful stories of human connection with the natural world.
