Touring Australia as an official part of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week, twelve short films will be screened at Inverell’s Majestic Cinema on Thursday, September 6.
Women’s Health Week is dedicated to helping all Australian women make good health a priority.
The Women’s Adventure Film Tour is billed as a celebration of fantastic women who are doing extraordinary things.
Viewers will witness first hand the grit and determination of top Aussie rock climber, Monique Forestier, take on the mountains with the youngest Australian to summit Alyssa Azar and journey across Greenland on a bicycle with record breaking expedition cyclist, Dr Kate Leeming.
The films also explore snowboarding in Iran through the eyes of international snowboard competitor Michaela Davis-Meehan and give a glimpse into life as a competitive adventurer with world champion trails rider Janine Jungfels, and Australian and New Zealand Olympic skiers Anna Segal and Janina Kuzma.
International stories will also be featured, including official selections from the Mountainfilm festival, the winner of the audience award at the Baltimore International Black Film Festival and the winner of the best film award at the UK’s BMC Women In Adventure film competition.
The Women’s Adventure Film Tour was created in Australia in early last year and has since gone on to screen in Hong Kong, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
The tour is presented in partnership with She Went Wild and is supported by the Department of Health’s Girls Make Your Move campaign, Osprey Packs, Adventurous Women and Outer Edge Magazine.
Tickets are now on sale and can be purchased at the Women’s Adventure Film Tour website for $25 per adult, $20 concession and $15 for youth.
