This October the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour comes to South Africa, bringing with it films of adventures by ski, bike, rock, ropes and on water.
For the 10th year, Cape Union Mart proudly hosts the screening of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour films at Ster-Kinekor cinemas in Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and Pretoria.
From Antarctica to Iceland, the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour visits 44 countries to bring a selection of films on exploration, adventure, culture, environment, and mountain films to growing audiences.
11 award-winning and audience-nominated Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour films, selected from hundreds of submissions, will be shown at each screening in South Africa. They include a mix of topics and styles that are entertaining, inspiring and thought-provoking. These films range in duration from the intense-action, two-minute kayaking video Into the Ditch to the 37-minute documentary film And then we swam, winner of the Best Exploration & Adventure Film category.
Regular audiences will delight in seeing some of their favourite adventurers in action. Danny MacAskill is up to his mountain biking feats again in Danny MacAskill - The Ridge, Rush Sturges kayaks in an urban environment in Into the Ditch and Alex Honnold climbs desert towers in Sufferfest 2.
South African audiences are also treated to the screening of an additional five-minute film: the winning submission from the Cape Union Mart Adventure Film Challenge. This annual film competition encourages South African filmmakers and athletes to capture and celebrate local outdoor culture.

2015 Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour Films
Danny MacAskill - The Ridge / Mountain Biking
World-renowned trials rider Danny MacAskill is back! Filmed on the stunning Isle of Skye in Scotland, MacAskill returns to his childhood haunt for a new challenge: riding a mountain bike on the infamous Cuillin Ridge.
The Unrideables / Paragliding
This film is glorious cinematographic eye candy. Expert speed flyers test their limits in a massive, volatile landscape of ice and snow.
Wild Women / Slacklining
Smile and laugh along with slack-liner Faith Dickey as she shows us just how fun life on the line can be.
Afterglow / Skiing
From Alaskan spines to deep pillows in British Columbia, Afterglow turns big mountain skiing on its end, and then turns it upside down again, heading into the night through a wintery glow of trippy technicolour.
And Then We Swam / Rowing & Swimming
Most adventurers who set out to cross the Indian Ocean have some rowing experience. For two blokes from the UK, that seemed like a minor detail, not a death wish.
Touch / Paragliding
Touch is a colourful and spectacular flying tour of Santorini in Greece, the Aiguille du Midi above Chamonix and the Col du Galibier in France, with a bit of cheekiness added in, just for fun.
All My Own Stunts / Mountain Biking
Rob Jarman is a downhill mountain bike specialist and a professional stuntman. Following a near-fatal accident, he has battled to stay atop both fields. Its an emotional and gripping story about how hard it is to let go.
Arctic Swell - Surfing the Ends of the Earth / Surfing
Surfing photographer Chris Burkard loves capturing cold water surfers. He's prepared to venture to the ends of the earth to snap that once in a lifetime shot.
Into the Ditch / Kayaking
2 friends, 1 ditch. Nothing has changed, but now everything is different. Watch as friends Ben Marr and Rush Sturges tackle breakneck speeds down a 500ft tall drainage ditch.
Sufferfest 2 / Climbing
Cedar Wright and Alex Honnold are back! This time, a month riding their bikes and climbing desert towers in the American Southwest should be a piece of cake for these fast friends. Or will it?
Sun Dog / Skiing
What could be better than riding gorgeous lines of untouched snow with your best friend at your side?
