TILT Film Festival

Overview

There’s action films, and then there’s action films — and the TILT Film Festival presents the latter. This isn’t a celebration of the beat-'em-up and knock-'em-down type, but of the fast and furious kind. Only the most extreme and daring feats grace its silver screens.

The seven-film program showcases work from some of the world’s most renowned and acclaimed sports and adventure filmmakers, and stars daring and revered Motocross riders, climbers, skiers, snowboarders, karate masters, surfers and athletes. There are no half measures here; this is about living life to the fullest and testing all conceivable limits.

Australian Martial Arts documentary 100 Man Fight kicks off the program, with a different source of adrenalin in the spotlight each night. Scale to Patagonian heights with Cerro Tore – A Snowball’s Chance in Hell, or surf the psychedelic seas with Strange Rumblings. If sliding down the slopes is your thing, check out the double bill of legendary snowboarding filmmaker Jeremy Jones’ Higher and free ski film Almost Ablaze. The cultural phenomenon that is the Crusty Demons celebrate the 20th anniversary of their daredevil antics, while On Any Sunday – The Next Chapter provides a star-studded modern-day homage to the art of motorcycle riding.
