Also in the line-up is 'We Don't Usually Have Ice Creams', the winner of the Spirit of Adventure Award, which showcases a group of Wellington over-65s that go tramping every Wednesday.
They don't believe in tracks or bridges. They scale untracked ridges, ford or swim rivers, scramble up waterfalls, abseil over bluffs and seldom get home before dark.
The Best Snow Sports Film Award winner is 'Ô'Parizad', an adventure combining skiing and mountaineering with four skiers chasing their goal to return on the trail of their pioneering ski ancestors to ski an 8000m Himalayan giant - Gasherbrum II.
Winner of the Hiddleston/MacQueen Award for Best NZ-Made Film is 'Traversing the Night'.
It documents "four New Zealand alpine kids" (as they call themselves) as they set off from Arthur's Pass with a dream to traverse the spine of the Southern Alps for the next three months until they reached Fiordland.
Brett says, "Our local audience savour this annual adventure film fest; what could be better than sitting alongside fellow outdoor enthusiasts letting your imagination go wild and planning your next adventure?"
