Win tickets to Banff Mountain Film Festival

Film buffs and outdoor adrenalin junkies listen up – this month Tauranga is to become one of 400 communities in 40 countries to host this year’s Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour.
The festival – the largest and one of the most prestigious mountain festivals in the world – is bringing to town a collection of the most inspiring action, environmental and adventure films on offer.
Every year the Banff World Tour team chooses about 25 films featuring a range of styles and themes, including climbing, skiing, kayaking, biking, adventure, culture and the environment.
NZ Alpine Club member Tim Sainsbury says his club is hosting the festival in Tauranga with a showing on June 19.
“It’s an international event that happens across the world and this is the first time it’s happening in Tauranga.
“You can watch a few of the films previews online at www.banff.nz”
The Tauranga showing will feature ‘And Then We Swam’ about a UK duo crossing the Indian Ocean, Kai Lightner’s ‘14.c’ plus ‘Afterglow’ about big mountain skiing, ‘Arctic Swell’ by surfing photographer Chris Burkard, and ‘Just Keep Running’ about Kiwi Ruby Muir, who is one of the world’s most promising young trail runners.
The Tauranga showing is at Holy Trinity Church next Friday, June 19 from 6.30-9pm.
Tickets cost $15 for NZ Alpine Club members and students, or $20 general admission from Macpac Tauranga, Bivouac Outdoor Tauranga or www.banff.nz
