Banff Mountain Film Festival at The Astor | Adventure Films Night

Let’s meet up for the Banff Mountain Film Festival 2026 at The Astor Theatre in St Kilda.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings together a selection of short films focused on adventure, mountain culture, outdoor sports, exploration, and remote places. Expect stories involving things like climbing, trail running, mountain biking, skiing, paddling, and other outdoor adventures.

We’ll meet outside The Astor Theatre at 6:15pm, then head inside together before the 7:00pm film start. Seating is not allocated, so we’re meeting a bit early to try to secure good seats and hopefully sit together as a group.

This is a relaxed, low-pressure social night. You’re welcome to come by yourself, say hello before the film, enjoy the screening, and leave afterwards. If people are interested, we can also grab a quick dinner or food nearby after the screening.

Who this is for
This should suit people who enjoy:

• Adventure films and outdoor stories
• Hiking, climbing, cycling, skiing, paddling, travel, or mountain culture
• A relaxed cinema night with a small social group
• Coming solo and meeting a few new people in a low-pressure way

You do not need to be an extreme adventurer to join — just some curiosity about the outdoors and adventure films is enough.
