For the Banff Book and Film Festival‘s 40th anniversary, the Northman Company partnered with Trail Peak to see some of the world’s best adventure films and to share them with you! From the giant inflatable mammoth (Mammut), outdoor selfie photobooth (Helly Hansen), to the happy hour with commemorative beer steins (ACC/Highline Magazine), this year’s Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival truly was a celebration of its #40epicyears. The BFF had something for everyone on any budget with free events and learning opportunities such as National Geographic photography workshops, mountain art and craft sales, Google Cardboard virtual reality giveaways, and of course an assortment of films. In a day and a half, we were lucky to watch 17 films ranging from 4 to 105 minutes in length. Spoiler alert: they were all fantastic!

Here is our top 5: Nature RX : This viral video has made its

way to the top with almost 2 Million views on YouTube. Nature RX is a spoof of the typical medicinal commercials while promoting going outside. If you love a good laugh, this short film is for you!

Kayaking The Aleutians : Two women go on an adventure of a lifetime and paddle over 2,500 kilometers in one of the most remote places on earth. The film not only displays beautiful scenery, wildlife, and moments of utter frustration, Kayaking The Aleutians does a phenomenal job at exposing the harsh reality of the concept “mind over matter”.

Darklight : Whether you’re a fan of mountain biking or not, this film is a treat for the eyes. This short film (6 min.) follows three skilled mountain bikers at night as they ride down paths that are lit in an array of colors.

Across The Ice : Get your blanket and hot tea ready because this one will give you the chills. Two men go on a mission to cross a 2,300 kilometer Greenland ice sheet in 40 days while attempting to break a new record for the longest distance traveled in a 24-hour period on skis with the help of their kites.

Unbranded : Unbranded was by far the most entertaining film we’ve seen this year at the BFF. This film follows a group of young men and their wild mustangs as they travel over 5,000 kilometers from Mexico to Canada. While there are plenty of laughs, a few tears and mishaps, Unbranded also sheds light on the debate of the overpopulation of wild horses.
