NOTES ON THE PROGRAM
We plan to show over to 35 films, or put another way over 15 hours of
exciting, dramatic and stunning footage of everything and anything to do with
climbing and the mountains! As the films are constantly being submitted a
complete schedule will not be produced until just before the festival. However
films will be announced and the program updated on the web site.
If you miss any of the prize winning films first time round they will all be
repeated on Sunday evening in the Brewery Theatre.
Our speakers are spread between the Leisure Centre and the Brewery Theatre.
Seminars, workshops and debates will take place in the Brewery Studio.
Remember the Saturday night party is limited and tickets are on sale for £6.
