The second annual Wanaka New Zealand Mountain Film Festival has hit the road and this is Auckland’s one and only chance to see these awesome climbing movies.
Tickets are very limited for this screening of some of the best climbing and adventure films this year – none of which form part of the Banff tour.
Kiwi blokes Jo and Sean travel to the Patagonian Ice Cap in search of a lost tower. It remains lost, but the high winds and epic journey they undertook makes for a great movie. Kayaking in the Nevis has got some of the best white water kayaking footage we’ve seen. These guys rock! Acopan Tepui is and Azazel are just epic climbing films of big walls in far flung places. All in all a blissful night out for climbers, adventurers, kayakers, actual or armchair.
2009 New Zealand Mountain Film Festival Tour - Programme
Lost Tower
(NZ, 2009, Director and Producer Wayne Johnson, 65 min)
The story of Kiwi climbers Jo Kippax and Sean Waters as they head to the spectacular North Patagonian Icecap to try and climb the remote 'Lost Tower'.
Kayaking the Nevis
(NZ, 2009, Director Pete Simpson, 12 min)
Kayakers have made this film as part of their evidence to support the Kawarau Water Conservation Order, which in turn could stop the proposed hydro scheme on the Nevis River, Central Otago.
Acopan Tepui

German climber Stefan Glowacz and his teammates make a first ascent of Acopan Tepui, an 800metre rock escarpment high above the South American jungle.
Azazel
(France, 2008, Director Guillaume Broust, 22 min)
French big wall climbers Martial, Blutch, Mimouse and Sam keep the audience entertained as they open a new 1,600 meter-long aid route on the Towers of Trango in Pakistan.
