Film Program
Films, screenings and filmmaker conversations.

The programme is still taking shape.

Field craft, expert voices and shared tables.
A programme running alongside the screenings — the conversations, gatherings and hands-on moments that make the festival more than a cinema.
- Survival Training Camp
- A hands-on introduction to field craft, led by explorers who work in demanding environments.
- Expert Talks
- Short-form presentations from scientists, researchers and practitioners at the front line of the field sciences.
- Fireside Chats
- Unhurried conversations between explorers, filmmakers and the audience — informal, close, direct.
- Explorer Dinner
- A shared table for filmmakers, scientists, partners and guests — the exchanges that only happen off-programme.
- Panels
- Moderated discussions bringing multiple voices into one room around the questions shaping exploration today.
