Mountainfilm on Tour Returns in 2026

Mountainfilm on Tour is back in Australia in March 2026, bringing a carefully curated selection of short documentary films from the long-running Telluride festival to screens around the country.

If you’ve been before, you’ll know it’s not a single-discipline night. It’s not just climbing. Not just skiing. Not just riding. It’s a mix of human stories that orbit the outdoors in different ways.

This year’s program spans adaptive backcountry education, foot-powered splitboarding missions, freeride mountain biking under serious pressure, environmental storytelling and deeply personal journeys shaped by wild places. The common thread is simple. People testing themselves in landscapes that demand respect.

One film follows adaptive skiers and snowboarders undertaking hands-on avalanche training in remote winter terrain, highlighting what inclusion looks like when it’s done properly. Another captures a rare spring window in a high mountain range, where riders drop everything to earn lines under their own steam. There’s also a raw look at the mental and physical preparation behind one of freeride mountain biking’s most intense competitions, shifting the focus from spectacle to mindset.

What ties them together isn’t just adventure. It’s intention.

Mountainfilm has always leaned into the why. Why people choose hard objectives. Why environmental stewardship matters. Why community and access sit at the centre of outdoor culture. The films tend to sit with you long after the credits roll. They’re less about adrenaline spikes and more about perspective.

Presented in Australia by Osprey, the 2026 tour arrives in the lead-up to winter. It’s well timed for anyone planning snow trips, alpine hikes, long trail missions or simply looking to reconnect with the bigger picture before the next season kicks off.

Mountainfilm on Tour screens nationwide from March 2026. If you value time outside and the people shaped by it, this one’s worth a night off the couch. Get your tickets here.
