Every year dozens of mountain and
adventure film festivals take place all over the planet. The Sheffield Adventure
Film Festival, now in its third year, aims to bring together the best of the
films shown at the best of the festivals, new films that have not yet been
screened, and old favourites. Some of the films featured are available on DVD;
the biggest reason for watching them at ShAFF is for a big screen, big sound,
big audience feel.
We will be featuring manageable
90-minute compilations of films featuring stunning photography in beautiful
locations. Whether you are an adrenaline junky or a culture vulture, a
hyperactive kid or an armchair legend there will be films that you will enjoy.
We guarantee it! The films will be presented and judged by Ian Parnell, Niall
Grimes and Gordon Stainforth. Talking of celebrities, Joe Simpson has kindly
agreed to be patron of the event and will be there on the Saturday night giving an
exclusive interview with Gordon Stainforth.
In addition to the films there will
be live music in the Showroom bar, photo exhibits, a massive bargain area run by
Decathlon, a come-and-try-it climbing wall and the return of last year’s
city-centre orienteering event. The Climbing Works and ShAFF will also be throwing a huge party at The Workstation free to ShAFF
ticket holders.
