Film highlights include A Baffin Vacation, featuring adventurers Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry on a romantic getaway with a difference. The duo set off on a 45-day expedition through the remote landscape of Baffin Island in Canada, in search of stunning cliffs and unexplored rivers.

Other films include Bridge Boys, following British climbers Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall facing one of the most unusual climbs ever attempted – a 2,600ft horizontal groove beneath a motorway bridge on the M5, and finally, Saving Glaciers.

Every year, glaciologist Dr Felix Keller observes the steady retreat of the Morteratsch glacier in the Swiss Alps. With enthusiasm, resilience and love for the mountains, Felix and his team are hoping to save winter for future generations.
