Trail (UK)

Three to see

-

Sheffield Adventure Film Festival takes place this month, showing over 100 outdoor and adventure films across the weekend of 17-19 March. Here are three we reckon you have to see:

Wilderness

This short, beautifull­y shot film will have you planning a trip to the Highlands immediatel­y – if it doesn’t make you quit your job and head to the hills permanentl­y. Filmed entirely in Scotland and set to the words of naturalist John Muir, it praises the importance of wild places and a free life. See it: Spirit of Adventure Films 2 session

The Accord

Not about mountains (sorry), but the raging sea and unpredicta­ble North Atlantic wind. The story of a surfer who must wait and battle and hope for the perfect conditions on the coast of Iceland. Creatively told, compelling and funny. See it: Surf and Kayak session

Jurek

Jerzy ‘Jurek’ Kukuczka competed with Reinhold Messner in the Eighties to climb the highest peaks in the world. Coming from an impoverish­ed background, he got to the top using home-made kit, pure skill and determinat­ion. A fascinatin­g look at a little-known angle of mountainee­ring history. See it: Mountain Films 2 session
