At the heart of our Festival is an incredible film programme, which we curate from entries to our year long international film competition. Everything from international film premieres with the world’s greatest athletes to new voices entering the outdoor sphere.
The 2024 film programme celebrates filmmakers from across the globe, curated with over 190 films and all selected for the Kendal Mountain International Film Competition.
The Film Competition honours excellence in adventure storytelling and filmmaking by presenting a diverse array of entries that showcase a rich tapestry of stories highlighting the beauty, challenges, and triumphs of the human spirit in the great outdoors.
Jacqui Scott, CEO, Kendal Mountain Festival, shared:"With an incredible 485 film submissions this year, it’s genuinely heartwarming to know that we’re helping lift up this vibrant community of filmmakers, each driven by the shared mission to bring powerful outdoor stories to life."
