NZ Mountain Film Festival - Friday 15th, 6.30pm
NZ Mountain Film Festival
Friday 15th September,
Doors open 6.30pm, movies start 7.00pm
The 2017 Hokitika screening of the always popular New Zealand Mountain Film Festival is happening this Friday night at the Hokitika Regent.
Don't miss the West Coast outdoor community social event of the year. Come and watch some epic films and get inspired.
The movie line-up includes;
• Give Me Five - 11 mins, Director: Arnaud Longobardi, France, subtitles.
The film is the story behind an attempt at formation flight between a speed-wing and two wingsuits pilots.
• Waiau-toa Odyssey - 13 mins, Director: Simon Waterhouse, NZ.
Five adventurers set off on a six-day, 300km unsupported journey. By combining new bike-packing and pack-rafting technology, they link together whitewater rivers and backcountry tracks through some of NZ’s under-appreciated wilderness areas.
• Into Twin Galaxies - A Greenland Epic - 52 mins, Director: Jochen Schmoll, Germany. Three adventurers embark on an insane kayaking mission in Greenland. With kite skis, they tow their whitewater kayaks over 1000 kilometres of the Greenland Ice Cap to reach the most northern river ever paddled.
• North of Known - 52 mins, Director: Bryan Smith, Canada.
An attempted traverse by paraglider of the entire 700-kilometre length of the Alaska Range. A rugged, convoluted, and downright burly adventure in terrain where bears outnumber people, roads are non-existent, and flying conditions are completely unpredictable.
• Link Sar West - 31 mins, Director: Jon Griffith, UK.
Link Sar in Pakistan was an obsession for UK alpinist and photographer Jonathan Griffith. He made three attempts on the peak before reaching the west summit on his forth try. Near disastrous circumstances, with riveting video and breathtaking cinematography.
We are especially lucky to have Waiau-Toa Director Simon Waterhouse joining us to introduce his film. There will also be a display of some of the kit the crew used on their epic adventure.
Doors open at 6:30pm for pizza and coffee. There will be a book stall, thanks to Take Note Hokitika, so you can check out the winning books from the Wanaka festival and a range of other mountain literature. Screening begins at 7.
Admission $20 / $16 for WCAC, FMC, NZAC, youth, seniors
Tickets available at the Hokitika Regent Theatre, tel 03 755 8101 or online

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
