Radical Reels Film Festival

Overview

You could be forgiven - and forgive me too - for judging a title by its name. The Radical Reels Film Festival sounded like it was packed full of fully sick fishing movies, but how wrong I was. As if anyone would want to see XTREME fishing, when they could be watching XTREME mountain sports instead!

On closer inspection, the Radical Reels title makes sense in a less obvious way - radical because the stuff these film makers and/or their subjects do is literally radical, out of the ordinary, cool shit, and reels because um, yeah, that's what you put film on, Emma. Nevertheless, the Judy is presenting the 35^th Annual Banff Mountain Film Festival and the good thing about it is that you don't need to be a thrill seeker to enjoy the experiences of these hardcore folk.

You best hang onto your seats and rope yourself in to witness some of this year's best skiing, boarding, kayaking, climbing and biking adventures, all without the actual physical effort. Don't read into it too much.
