Each autumn, the Backcountry Film Festival comes to Naarm/ Melbourne. Timed to inspire some pre season stoke, the program is put together by the Winter Wildlands Alliance (WWA) in Idaho and is a one night festival featuring up to 12 short films. Last year there were 2 films with an Australian connection.

As well as the WWA package, we like to screen one or two locally produced backcountry films – and maybe that’s where you come in! In the 2024 season we showed local films 36o South and Spring Shralpinism on Sentinel Ridge.

If you plan to make a short backcountry inspired film after this winter and would like to show it to an enthusiastic audience, then please get in touch. Cam.walker@foe.org.au

The 2025 screening will happen some time in April or May 2025.
