Prepare to be inspired!
Adventure Film Festival is back, and Red Bull will be there…
A diverse selection of short action sports, travel, environmental and adventure films from around the world will be on show in Queenstown later this month.
The Queenstown Adventure Film Festival, opens on 30 July and encompasses several screenings of films that celebrate adventures on snow, land, water and in the air.
Red Bull NZ has 2 films showing this year ‘Red Bull Uncharted’ a B.A.S.E expedition of epic proportions featuring many never before jumped peaks, visually stunning back drops and the talents of our own athlete Chuck Berry. The Second film ‘Focused’ features another NZ athlete, Ben Brown. It is a kayak adventure filmed in Iceland and has been nominated for an Emmy award.
New to this year’s programme are two nights each exploring a different theme. One night's content looks into the mind of the extreme sports athlete, the second showcases global adventures from far flung corners of the world and both nights feature two to three longer films. As with the shorts programme both nights promise to inspire viewers to get out of their regular space and find adventures of their own.
While the longer programmes are more specifically focused, the appeal is expected to be just as wide as the short films line up. We’re anticipating people will go to the main short programme screening and then take in one or both of the longer film sessions.”
The festival opens on Thursday 30 July at 8pm in Queenstown's Memorial Hall. Friday 31 July, Saturday 1 August and Sunday 2 August will each feature an 8pm screening. Saturday and Sunday will also include a matinee screening at 3pm, all showing the short films programme. The longer programmes screen on Monday 3 August and Tuesday 4 August respectively, both at 8pm.
