Mountain of entries

This year’s New Zealand Mountain Film Festival has received a record number of entries.

In total, 208 films were submitted in the international adventure film competition, a 16% increase on last year.

Entries were received from Finland, Brazil, the United States, South Korea, Australia, India, Turkey, Armenia, Europe, Hong Kong and New Zealand; 16 of the films are Kiwi-made.

Fewer mountaineering films were received than in the past, but there was a significant increase in environmental films.

The festival runs in Wanaka from June 28 to July 3, Queenstown from July 4 to 6 and Cromwell on July 7.
