With extreme climbing, kayaking, mountain biking and more, the Banff Mountain Film Festival features two new collections of inspirational short films from remote corners of the planet.

Best Day Ever (Blue Programme)

Best Day Ever follows adaptive mountain bikers Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi as they tackle the daily challenges of disability - and find joy, connection and belonging in their local biking community. At its heart is the world's first fully adaptive trail network built to prove that everyone belongs outside. Visually stunning and emotionally powerful, Best Day Ever challenges perceptions of disability and celebrates community.

Flow Vision (Blue Programme)

For Ambroise Trauet, downhill skateboarding isn't just about speed or technical skill. It's about chasing a feeling that exists at the very edge of possibility, where fear dissolves and instinct takes over. Join Ambroise as he takes on the most challenging road in Europe, with stunning ‘follow car’ shots and raw, high-speed footage.

Gabon Uncharted (Red Programme)

Four elite whitewater kayakers embark on a 12-day descent of the mysterious Ivindo River in Gabon, Central Africa. Battling towering waterfalls and treacherous rapids, this is a high-stakes adventure revealing the gritty reality behind the veneer of social media.

Mandala (Red Programme)

A spellbinding mountain bike journey through Nepal, from the bustling streets of Kathmandu to the vertiginous mountain paths of the Himalayas. Starring legendary French mountain biker Kilian Bron, who is passionate about finding the balance between culture and sport, Mandala is a visual and sensory work of art.
