Adventure Film Festival Official Selection

posted by dpm on 10/30/2009

Adventure Film started as a dream in the heart of the Himalayas. In a tent during a storm, on a handful of scratch paper, the late-Jonny Copp sketched out the initial vision of a community based, mission oriented, outdoor adventure festival that tied indie film with art and activism.

As an international community of risk takers, provocateurs, artists, dreamers, athletes, activists... every year the international Adventure Film selection committee chooses the best new outdoor adventure and environmental activism films from around the world. Award winners in nearly a dozen categories are selected. They cover risks both mighty and absurd; tap the fringes of the unknown; and portray those experiences that bring us to the edges of our seats with our hands over our eyes or our fists in the air.

Check out this year's official selection HERE. Of notable interest are Africa Revolutions Tour, Gum for My Boat, an inspirational film about surfing in Bangladesh, and New World Disorder 10: Dust and Bones, a high impact look into the sport of Freeriding.
