FILM PROGRAMME

A totally different collection of films from the 2012 Banff Tour will play on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights in London - so join us for two nights if you are keen to experience all the amazing Banff films!

We are working hard to ensure that you get the very best adventure films so the programme may be slightly amended.

THIS IS MY WINTER Get a glimpse behind the scenes of a season with one of the world's finest snowboarders, Xavier de le Rue.  Dealing with dangers, lack of snow and the ups and downs of a winter spent skimming his board over steep and gnarly lines is all in a day's work for Xavier.    Directed by Guido Perrini, 28 minutes	REEL ROCK: RACE FOR THE NOSE  Banff Award: Radical Reels - People's Choice Award Welcome to one of the wildest competitions known to man - the speed record on the Nose route of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park.  For 50 years the best climbers in the world have been one-upping each on the massive granite monolith, risking life and limb to shave mere seconds off the record time.   Directed by Nick Rosen and Pete Mortimer, 22 minutes
SECOND NATURE An exploration of the abstract and extreme, Second Nature tests the limits of what is possible on a skateboard.  With only the sounds of the wind whipping past the camera and followed closely by fast moving vehicles, they reach speeds of over 50mph in the High Sierras of California.   Directed by Colin Blackshear, 6 minutes	BLUE OBSESSION Beautiful and ever-changing ice-falls of Alaska's glaciers provide a stunning setting for some unusual ice climbing adventures.
