Date:
The Banff Mountain Film Fest winds down with a special treat for local cyclists: Cam McCaul and six other world-class cyclists on a balls-out blitz of biking tomfoolery in New Zealand. Not Bad is only 7 minutes long, but it starts off the evening and is bound to make a splash given this town's recreational druthers. Watch the trailer here:
The evening's featured film is Heaven's Gate, a story of wingsuit pilots attempting a fly through the dangerous archway carved out of the Tianmen Mountain in China. Other films include I AM RED by National Geographic photographer and filmmaker Pete McBride (gorgeous scenery of the Colorado River with an equally powerful message), The Questions We Ask (Bruce Kirkby's stand-up paddleboard trip from Vancouver to Victoria) and Spice Girl, about British climber Hazel Findlay.
For details on tonight's films visit the UCSC Recreation Department website. Proceeds benefit UCSC's Wilderness Orientation Scholarship Fund.
