Radical Reels Tour 2021

Overview

Some films are long, slow and serious. Others are brief, quick and fun. There's a place for the former, of course; however. Radical Reels champions the latter category, combining the most action-packed mountain movies it can find into a compilation of high-octane shorts.

Radical Reels is the adrenaline-loving little brother of the Banff Mountain Film Festival, the prestigious international film competition and annual presentation of short films and documentaries about mountain culture, sports, and environment. From the most recent festival's batch of submissions, a subset of daring displays have been singled out for not just one evening at the cinema, but four.

Between Tuesday, November 23–Friday, November 26 at Brisbane Powerhouse, Radical Reels will approach the very edge of action sports and natural highs: the wild rides, long lines, steep jumps, and skilled stunts, as well as the rugged playgrounds thrill-seekers explore on their mountain bikes, paddles, ropes, skis, snowboards and wingsuits. Expect the world's best extreme athletes getting fast and furious — and expect quite the thrilling ride from the comfort of your cushy cinema seat, too.
