The New Zealand Mountain Film Festival is coming to Gisborne! An outstanding collection of unique adventure films from NZ’s only homegrown Mountain Film Festival. See world-class NZ made films mixed with the world’s finest and most recent adventure films. The festival aims to showcase films from high-octane sports such as skiing, climbing, kayaking and mountain biking. It also features increasingly topical environmental and mountain culture films to inform and entertain.


PURE NZ NIGHT: Wednesday, 11 Sept at 6:30pm, total time 115 minutes

Up the Cass, No Gas (10 mins) Director: Anna Frances Pearson, NZ, World Premiere. An annual ski pilgrimage to the Cass Valley sparks a fresh perspective as friends contemplate their environmental footprint.

Ladies Behind The Lens (14 mins) Producer: Hannah Marshall, NZ, World Premiere. A journey of five determined women delving into the world of adventure filmmaking; grappling with technical challenges, equipment malfunctions, weather constraints and logistical nightmares.

The Adventure of Racing (26 mins) Director: Ben Wallbank, NZ, World Premiere. A female-led adventure racing team on their endeavour to compete at the adventure racing World Championships in Fiordland.

Kahurangi: a South to North Traverse (10 mins) Director: Louie Burger, NZ, World Premiere. Three teenage boys set off into the bush to walk the full length of the Kahurangi National Park, with over half of the trip spent navigating thick, slow moving, off track terrain. Aka - shitty bush.

Inshallah (18 mins) Director: Georgia Merton and Isobel Ewing, NZ. A celebration of winging it, of travel by bicycle the mountains of northern Pakistan and of the power of exploration to obliterate preconceptions and understand our fellow humans.

The War on Style (15 mins) Director: Chris Maunsell, NZ. A poetic look into the mind and outrageous life of protagonist Hank Bilous.

Terra Incognita (20 mins) Director: Finlay Woods, NZ. A bunch of world-class local skiers experiment with pack horses to access ski touring, with mixed results, but it doesn’t hold them back from some high-flying objectives that don’t always go to plan.


AWARD NIGHT: Friday, 20 Sept at 7pm, total time 142 minutes

To Be Frank (10 mins) USA. Explores authenticity and community in surfing via a 73-year-old South Bay icon and humble local.

Nuptse: Touching the Intangible (67 mins) Director Hugo Clouzeau, France, subtitles. Three French alpinists are dreaming of opening a new extreme climbing route on the legendary south face of Nuptse. A committing wall approaching 8,000m in the heart of the Himalayas. Will their obsessive quest be pushing too far?

Light Beams For Helena (10 mins) USA. Pushing the limits in the freediving world, using a single breath to dive to depths that would kill most human beings. Learn what diving into the darkness of deep water has taught her.

Via Sedna (55 mins) Director Ramona Waldner, Austria, subtitles. An all-female team sailed from France through the rough Arctic Sea to Greenland, where the climbers attempted the first ascent of a big wall. They set sail but it soon became clear that Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the seas, would put the team to the test.
