The third Nissan Adventure Film Festival sponsored by Helly Hansen will be taking place between 15-23 September at Vue Cinemas around the country. Showcasing the very best feature-length films over five themed evenings, the festival will take arm-chair adventurers on a journey from the heights of Mount Everest to the shark-infested waters off the coast of South Africa.

The festival – the largest adventure film festival in the world – will feature five themed evenings at Vue digital cinema sites nationwide as follows:

Monday 15 September: Environmental Adventure
Tuesday 16 September: Ocean Adventure
Wednesday 17 September: Survival Adventure
Monday 22 September: High Altitude Adventure
Tuesday 23 September: Winter Adventure

This year sees the introduction of a night dedicated to Environmental Adventure, demonstrating that adventurers can achieve the big thrill with a conscience. Featured films include ‘Red Gold’, a David and Goliath story of one man’s battle against a mining corporation in Alaska; ‘Oil + Water’, an epic 21,000 mile journey from Alaska to Argentina by a truck run on natural vegetable oil; and ‘Beyond the Horizon’ documenting 2006 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year Colin Angus’ record breaking round-the-world trip – the first ever made entirely under human power.

Other highlights include the world premiere of an episode of Discovery Channel’s ‘Deadliest Catch’ (Tuesday 16th, Ocean Adventure); ‘Stranded – the Andes Plane Crash Survivors’, a haunting movie telling the story of the 1972 plane crash through the words of the survivors themselves, as made famous by the film ‘Alive’ (Wednesday 17th, Survival Adventure) and ‘Sharkman’, following South African Mike Rutzen’s quest to overcome the negative perception of great white sharks by putting them into a state of ‘tonic immobility’, or hypnotic trance (Tuesday 16th, Ocean Adventure).
