FWMF25 Round The World

A special selection of six fantastic short outdoor adventure films from round the world. ‘Sliding’ A female athlete skips the crowded ski slopes to traverse the Swiss Alps on her sled... headfirst. ‘Home’ Two brothers come home after years apart and attempt their mountain running dream - a coast to coast adventure over the mighty Taranaki Maunga, in Aotearoa New Zealand. This is a story about whānau (family), special places, adventure and biting off more than you can chew. ‘Dirt And Determination’ A short film capturing the true essence of mountain bike freeriding in Virgin Utah desert, featuring renowned BMX and MTB rider Kurtis Downs. This short film is about the grit and support from friends and family that fuels riders to flock to the desert, and showcases all the good vibes and hard work put in to enjoy the ride! ‘Meta, Female Pioneers’ On June 28, 1870, Meta Brevoort embarked on a daring quest to become the first to summit La Meije in the Dauphiné Alps. In a thrilling homage to Brevoort, modern-day climber Maria Granberg retraces her steps, scaling La Meije and delving into the rich legacy of a woman unjustly overlooked in mountaineering history. ‘Surface’ Three friends explore the northern reaches of Norway on their skis. Determined to be the captains of their own ship, they decide to use inflatable packrafts to access interesting ski objectives under human-power. Looking to put their new adventure tools to the test, their arctic adventure culminates in a 4-island traverse, testing their resolve with brutal storms, rough seas and ever-present avalanche danger. ‘Talk To Frank’ My name is Frank, and I’m a cocker spaniel from Manchester. My story began when I moved in with Maleek, my human. He wasn’t in a great place – having just finished a four-year sentence, he found himself transitioning from one prison to another: the COVID lockdown and a debilitating depression. I gave him no choice; he had to start walking me. One walk led to another, and soon we were running. Before he knew it, we were on our way up Pen Y Ghent, his first mountain. www.mountainfestival.co.ukPT1H15MPG2025-02-15FWMF25 Round The World"FWMF25 Round The World"FWMF, FWMF25
