The New Zealand Alpine Club with Presenting Partners, World Expeditions, La Sportiva, NZ Mountain Safety Council and Osprey, bring the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour back to Ōtautahi Christchurch this May and June!
Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival is one of the largest and most prestigious mountain festivals in the world! Hot on the heels of the Festival that is held every fall in beautiful Banff, Alberta, the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour hits the road. With stops planned in over 600 communities and more than 40 countries across the globe, the Banff World Tour celebrates amazing achievements in outdoor storytelling and filmmaking worldwide.
From the over 400 entries submitted to the Festival competition each year, award-winners and audience favourites are among the films that are carefully selected to play in theatres around the world. Travelling to remote vistas, analysing topical environmental issues, and bringing audiences up-close and personal with adrenaline-packed action sports, the 2025/2026 World Tour is an exhilarating and provocative exploration of the mountain world.
