This year, the New Zealand Mountain Film and Book Festival is back again! Together, WTMC and our mates at VUWTC have joined up to run a screening of both the Pure NZ Night and Award Night screenings of the films featured in this year's programme.
We will be selling tickets to the Pure NZ Night, which will be hosted on Tuesday the 6th of October, and the Award Night, hosted on Thursday the 8th of October! All proceeds raised from ticket sales will be donated to charity!
Tickets are $20 for all, per night. Choose which night you'd like to come along to, or even come along to both!
Bring your family, friends, neighbours and anyone along. Snacks encouraged!
This calendar listing is for tickets to the Award Night on Thursday the 8th of October!

✨ AWARD NIGHT - Total run time: 122 minutes ✨
Thursday the 8th of October
Mia (6 mins) Marco Noe, Australia. Ten-year-old Mia is determined to land her biggest skating trick yet — again. For Mia, practice isn’t just routine; it’s progress in motion. BEST SHORT FILM
Mountain Of Mystery (34 mins) Jake Hopfinger, Justin Fann & Eric Parker, USA. Deep in British Columbia's most remote landscapes, a group of friends ski, kayak and surf their way through wild country. More than an extreme sports film, this is a story about shared challenge, laughter and the kind of unforgettable moments that only happen far from the beaten path. BEST ADVENTUROUS SPORTS & LIFESTYLES
Hunter's Moon (15 mins) Christina Lusti & Gee Pierrel, USA. Mountaineers Christina Lusti and Gee Pierrel are the first to ski an extremely steep line on the East Face of Aoraki. BEST SNOW SPORTS FILM
K2 – Chasing Shadows (67 mins) David Arnaud & Hugo Clouzeau, USA, subtitles. A record-breaking alpinist attempts a fast, oxygen-free ascent of K2 — one of the world's deadliest peaks— in a quest that pushes far beyond physical limits into deeply personal territory. GRAND PRIZE FILM

Tickets:
$20 per person, per night - Please note these tickets are for Award Night only.
Brought to you by the Vic Uni Tramping Club, Wellington Tramping and Mountaineering Club, and of course the New Zealand Mountain Film and Book Festival!
