The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour 2016 showcases the efforts and talents of the world's finest mountain filmmakers. Every year the Banff Centre in Canada receives hundreds of hopeful entries. These are narrowed down until only the very best films on Mountain Culture remain.

In 1986, the Banff Centre began an outreach programme to bring the tour to other communities across the world... and so the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour was born.

20 years later, in 2006, Cape Union Mart first brought the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour to South Africa, to Cape Town. 2014 heralds the nineth year of Cape Union Mart's partnership with the tour… and it promises to be as amazing as ever!

The tour enables you to experience the adventure of climbing, base jumping, alpine skiing, kayaking, mountain expeditions, remote cultures, and the world's last great wild places - all brought to life on the big screen.

Cape Union Mart invites you to join them for this remarkable series of films, screening once daily at selected Ster Kinekor cinemas around the country.

Reel Rock 10: A Line Across the Sky

Long considered impossible, coveted by many and attempted by a few, the Fitz Traverse has fueled the imaginations of climbers in Patagonia for decades. Tracing the iconic skyline of Cerro Fitz Roy and its six satellite peaks, it spans four miles and 13,000 feet across snow and ice-covered rock, with epic route finding and endless rapelling. Seizing their chance during a rare extended weather window, Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold went big. The pair completed the first ascent in a five-day push during February 2014.
