Every year the Banff Mountain Film Festival gets me fired up to push my next expedition even further and leaves me in awe of the modern adventures pursued today. I’ve attended every Banff Film Festival event in the SF Bay Area for the past three years and I love it! I promise you, watching each year’s favorite below will leave you with a new perspective:

Gimp monkeys (2012)

Inspiring story of a group of amputees climbing El Capitan in Yosemite Valley.

North of the Sun (2013)

Documents an unbelievable pursuit to live simply. Build a cabin out of beach trash, live in it nine months and surf… In the Norway winter.

Drawn (2014)

A artistic story celebrating a spirited, free and adventurous life.
