There are three Adrenaline, two Bike, six Climb, two Mountain, two Run, three Ski & Board, four Spirit Of Adventure and one Surf & Kayak sessions and 12 feature-length films. There are also six screenings of our special ‘Young Adventurer’ family-friendly children’s sessions and two Teen Screen Sessions’ for teenagers.

If that’s not enough, there’s our ‘Adventure Bites’ never-ending loop of the best short films from the festival screening all weekend, and both the Tour De Cinema and Cityscape Cinema showing free film screenings in the amphitheatre above the train station.
