Adventure Film Festival 2012

Overview

From extreme ironing and cable wakeboarding to base-jumping and cave diving, extreme sports range from the mildly risky to the downright deadly, the slightly bracing to the savagely adrenaline pumping. With a program of mini shorts and one hour films, the Adventure Film Festival aims to celebrate these endeavours, along with related stories of the raw, the dangerous, and the wondrous in the world.

Experience remarkable human achievement, quirky animations focused on raising environmental awareness, harrowing and inspiring takes of amputee rock climbers overcoming adversity, and the world's first tandem paraglide from the top of Mount Everest. This is cinema that will amaze and push, exhilarate and enflame with passion.

Last year the festival was geld at the Bondi Pavilion to a highly receptive audience. This year it will be held over two equally billed nights at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington, with nearly 50 films of varying lengths and origins being shown.
