For the tenth 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. 

Eleven 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 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 see 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.
