A one page text-only, printable view of what's showing at our Young Adventurers programme on Saturday morning. (Click here for the pretty version)
Light Line: Paraglider Jean Baptiste Chandelier specialises in flying close to the ground, skimming houses and people to give the audience watching the sense that they too are flying. Filmed on the Danish coast, this beautiful and understated short film of Chandelier's unique style is an original take on the sport of paragliding.
Himalayan High: The Mustang region in the Himalayas of Nepal is a land so beautiful, it has long been the ultimate dream for adventurers all over the world. Here, the sacred peaks of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri - shining with snow all year round, tower over the Kali Gandaki River, forming the deepest valley on the planet. Follow local rider Mandil Pradhan as he rides in the shadows of the world's highest mountains, through mystic Himalayan villages, on trails that have been trodden upon for centuries.
Red Bull Kluge: Stunt mountain biker Danny MacAskill and an eclectic mix of his Red Bull pals including hurdler Lolo Jones, skateboarder Ryan Sheckler and golfer Rickie Fowler bike, skate, run, put, fly and drive through this Wallace and Gromit-meets-Mousetrap style athlete-powered machine that's been one of this year's viral classics. Derived from the German adjective Klug (meaning “clever”), Red Bull Kluge combines complex machinery patched together with the energy and prowess of world-class athletes, to see what happens when physics gets physical.
Ski Boys: Presented as found footage, the 'Ski Boys' film reels show 'Deek' and his friends on their family farms in the summer of 1971 documenting their everyday adventures on Super 8 Film. Their homemade inventions - including 8ft toboggans fitted with roller-skate wheels, a flying squirrel suit and the 'road' ski - epitomise the 'Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your Television Set and Go and Do Something Less Boring Instead?' spirit. Winner of 2013 Sheffield Adventure Film Festival Best Artistic Film (Bronze).
Road Bike Party: UK trials bike legend Martyn Ashton takes the £10k carbon road bike, used by Team Sky's Bradley Wiggins to win the Tour de France, for a ride with a difference. Some of the toughest stunts you'll ever see pulled on a carbon road bike and amazingly only one puncture during filming. Winner of 2013 Sheffield Adventure Film Festival Best Short Film (Bronze)
So Fine: There can't be many adventure sports films featuring a banjo-playing kayaker crooning to a muppet. A loveable, offbeat promo video for Canadian singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, film-maker and expedition kayaker’s catchy tune 'So Fine'.
Goodbye Cambridge: Cambridge based film maker Scott Bass has known Austin 'Ozzy' Phillips for more than ten years. Phillips, who recently moved to London, was the first person he got to practice Parkour with. The pair made this witty short video as a thank you to the city.
