Faster, steeper, higher, deeper – the Banff Mountain Film Festival RADICAL REELS tour is coming to Australia
Catch the steepest and deepest in high-adrenalin outdoor sport films when the 2012 Radical Reels Tour comes to Australia this October and November. Hurtle down steep untouched powder, feel the cold spray of stomach-dropping kayak first descents, fly high with the world’s wildest BASE jumpers, and much more in extreme mountain sports
Growing from the largest and most prestigious mountain film festival, the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, Radical Reels screens the most dynamic action sports films, audience-tested and programmed for maximum excitement. The judges are always on the look out for films that feature a fresh approach, a new sport, and a radically independent spirit.
To be selected for the Radical Reels tour films need to be 30 minutes shorter and have the adrenalin level turned up to the max. So grab your tickets and hang on to your seats as we present the world’s best action films on skiing, boarding, climbing, biking, kayaking and more – all brought to life on the big screen.
