FOR THE MOST EXTREME CONDITIONS IN THE WORLD

WWW.RAB.EQUIPMENT

Rab Carrington started his company in Sheffield in 1981. The company was based on two things: A deep understanding of what climbers and mountaineers need, and a commitment to practical gear that works. Those same qualities of innovation, integrity and function have endured, remaining at the heart of the Rab® brand today. Rab have supported ShAFF since its inception and we are proud to be involved with one of the world’s leading adventure film festivals. Since 1981 we have been making clothing and equipment to keep climbers, mountaineers and adventurers safe and comfortable in the most extreme conditions. During that time we have also worked closely with photographers and filmmakers to document the achievements of our athlete team and of the wider climbing community.

about shaff

‘How To’ Guide.

There are more than 100 films showing at ShAFF this year.

There are also talks and Q&As with elite athletes and adventurers.

Films are grouped into themed sessions each lasting about 90

minutes. Sessions are spread across the weekend to help you

maximise your viewing.

There are two Adrenaline, three Bike (two MTB and one Road),

three Climb, one Mountain, three Run, two Ski & Board, four

Spirit of Adventure and one Surf & Kayak sessions.

There are also four screenings of our special ‘Young Adventurer’

family-friendly children’s sessions with two more ‘Too Cool For School’

screenings to bridge the gap into secondary school, and a further

two Teen Screen screenings 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

especially for 2015 to celebrate our tenth birthday, a 2 hour loop of

classic films, one from each year the festival has run.

And as part of the new Festival Fringe you can enjoy free events like

the Viewranger Technology Forum and Cycle Touring Forum as well as

the MyOutdoors Second Hand Kit Sale and the Lowepro Adventure

Photography Exhibition.

In between times you can relax in the café / bar with music curated

from the films by Sheffield DJ Paul Hodgson.

Tickets are sold for individual sessions and events. You can buy

tickets individually or in a discounted carnet.

Celebrating 10 years!

Thank you for joining us for Sheffield Adventure Film Festival’s

10th birthday, presented by outdoor technical equipment

specialists Rab and supporting the Sheffield Helipad Appeal.

It’s a decade since Matt Heason started screening a Best of

Kendal Mountain Festival Night at the Showroom Cinema.

To celebrate we’re screening a record-number of films – 116

at the last count. We reckon that means we now screen more

films than any other adventure festival in the world – right here in

the heart of Sheffield, the UK’s Outdoor City. Matt’s also picked

his favourites from the past decade for our ShAFF Classics

loop with all proceeds going to the Sheffield Helipad Appeal.

Thank you also to all our sponsors and partners and in

particular our team of volunteers, headed up by Martin

Blackburn, and Dave Mycroft from MyOutdoors.co.uk for

organising our first ever Festival Fringe.

Enjoy the party, Matt Heason and Lissa Cook

DamNationDamNation explores the sea change in American attitudes from

pride in big dams as engineering wonders to the growing awareness

that the country’s own future is bound to the life and health of its

rivers. Where obsolete dams come down, rivers bound back to

life, giving salmon and other wild fish the right of return to primeval

spawning grounds, after decades without access. DamNation’s

majestic cinematography and unexpected discoveries move

through rivers and landscapes altered by dams, but also through

a metamorphosis in values, from conquest of the natural world to

knowing ourselves as part of nature.

Danny MacAskill – Epecuén In 1985 the seaside town of Epecuén in Argentina became

completely submerged when a nearby dam broke. 25 years

later the town has re-emerged. Watch as Danny MacAskill brings

a forgotten city back to life with his latest street trials film.

August 2014 to set out what he originally intended to do all that

time ago and reach the highest point, to summit Ben Nevis.

Lorraine – The MovieDeep snow, untracked slopes, classical music and a gifted skier.

‘Lorraine’, starring Austrian pro freeskier Lorraine Huber, gives us

something which in today’s society is increasingly speeding up

and running away from us: time.

Time to become consciously aware of the breathtaking scenery

of snowcapped mountains, to discover details and the precision

of a skier’s turn, and time to breathe. Nothing distracts the eye

from the aesthetics of the images and dynamics of the snow,

or the loneliness and devotion of the freerider Lorraine Huber.

Not a single word.

Patrick and Hannah had been together and going on great

adventures for over ten years. They decided to make a

plan and that plan involved getting married and going on a

honeymoon. After celebrating their Big Day in May they bundled

all their clothes and camping gear into two little trailers and

hopped onto mountain bikes to travel some 2,500 miles along

the Great Divide from New Mexico to Banff in Alberta, Canada,

completely unsupported and camping the whole way with

occasional motel stops.

And in case that wasn’t enough they decided to paddle 260

miles down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon first.

Nobody’s River‘Nobody’s River’ tells the story of four women who want to

follow the Amur River from its source to its mouth: it’s a kayaking

adventure during which nothing goes exactly as planned.

Although there is not even one dam that blocks the course of

the 3,000km river, lots of other obstacles stand in their way –

especially in the heads of the kayakers. The expedition

is overshadowed by a heavy blow of fate even before the

adventure, but they set out anyway. Surprised by Mongolian

hospitality and fascinated by their strange sporting competitions,

they conclude that it’s often the small things that determine the

success of an expedition.

Project FearIn the summer of 2014 Dave MacLeod attempted to climb a difficult new route on the Cima Overst in the Italian Dolomites. After years of battling with a number of potentially career ending injuries, Dave not only doubted his ability to climb the route, but also whether or not he would ever be able to climb at an elite level again. Despite heading out to the Dolomites with the intention of merely cleaning and preparing the route, Dave went on to climb the line in suboptimal conditions, shattering his personal expectations.

The Maestro of MongoliaOne fine day Jerry Aylmer found himself in Tajikistan, in

possession of a totally unsuitable car.

He had quit his trading job in London in order to try and

make a difference rather than a profit. Having driven

an ambulance from the UK to donate to a hospital in

Tajikistan, he now had a new mission – to deliver a small

car to a charity in Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.

A sturdy 4x4 would be the normal minimum requirement

for the 10,000km journey on terrible roads at nearly

5,000m altitude with temperatures as low as minus 20C.

Instead, Jerry had Marvin, a Rover Maestro.

His film is a story of fascinating people, yurts, blizzards

and being held up at gunpoint; a journey of self discovery

while getting lost in the vast Mongolian wilderness.

The OriginalIn 1974 Gordy Ainsleigh competed against the horses in a

100 mile trail ride through the Sierra Nevada mountains...

on foot. In true pioneering spirit he wanted to achieve

something that others thought impossible.

100 mile footraces in the world, The Western States 100.

‘The Original’ recounts Gordy Ainsleigh’s original run and

explores of the growth of ultra-distance trail running.

mounted to a helicopter, operated from inside via a laptop control

box from inside.

like snowy ascents and fierce winds – as a result, they got to

experience what it must be like to be ‘walking on sunshine’.

Wild Women – Ellen BrennanThe world’s fastest flying woman, Ellen Brennan, shows us why wingsuit flying is worth the risk. Her interview gives us an unprecedented look into an often misunderstood sport and puts a very human face on what appears to be a superhuman feat.

Wild Women – Faith DickeyFaith Dickey is a soft-spoken Texan with a long list of achievements in the world of highlining. If there is anyone who proves how little gender matters in sport it’s her. Although she is not into tricklining she holds all of the womens’ world records and an incredible list of achievements including being the first woman to pass the 100 meter mark on a slackline and being the only woman who regularly free solos highlines.

Wild Women – Hannah BarnesYeti Cycles pro rider Hannah Barnes got into cycling relatively late and it was 2005 before she did her first MTB race, aged 18. This year she’s been racing the Enduro World Series.

Wild Women – Shauna CoxseyAt only 21 years old, Shaun Coxsey is Britain’s best competition climber. After a nail-biting season she’s ranked second in the world. Shauna talks us through her inspiring philosophy toward life, competition, and sport. This young woman should be a role model

for all climbers.

X Box To IceAndy Kirkpatrick, one of the UK’s leading climbers, takes his kids in the depth of the Norwegian winter, to follow in the footsteps of the wartime heroes of Telemark. These Norwegian resistance fighters skied over the seemingly impenetrable Norwegian mountains to thwart the Nazi Atomic weapons programme, and have become a byword for bravery.

Andy is inspired by their achievements, and wants some of that tough, can do spirit to be part of his kids – 16 year old Ella, and 13 year old Euen’s – upbringing. He also believes in general terms that exposing children to risk is part of a responsible and balanced patenting plan. So, he takes them to Norway to do a 4 day wild ski adventure in challenging conditions. As they head into driving storms with just a tent, has the KirkPatrick family bitten off more than they can chew?
