Join our hosts, film-maker Austin Vince and travel writer Lois Pryce, here at the Nantahala Outdoor Center's Wesser Campus for three days and 16 films to warm the heart of any adventurer. These independent travel films are the real thing: gritty, independent, and personal. These are regular people pushing themselves farther than they could have imagined - on water, on foot, by train or by bus.
Featured films range thematically from the first descent of the Yenisey River through Mongolia, Siberia, and into the Arctic Ocean, to “The Himalayan Adventure,” the 1958 story of three English housewives who bought a Land Rover and drove it from London to Zanskar (then a part of Tibet). In short: inspiring, audacious, and beautifully filmed adventures that will leave you itching to get out and see the world. That’s why we’re also hosting speakers, photography clinics, and survival skills workshops throughout the weekend. The only danger is that when it’s time to leave on Sunday, you might just want to keep driving…
