Banff Mountain Film Festival 2025

The world's most prestigious mountain film festival is set to captivate Australian audiences this May 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. The 2025 program features seven extraordinary films that push the boundaries of adventure sports and human achievement.

This year's lineup 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," says Jemima Robinson, Director of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour in Australia. "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.

Tour Highlights:

• Record-breaking 55 screenings across Australia
• Coverage of 28 cities, including regional centres
