Shot and directed by Clees Lambridis and presented by Source TeeVee, Leggs profiled Glen Leggett, an ambitious and motivated snowboarder, surfer, kayaker and mountain biker who was born and raised in Queenstown.
When a paragliding accident left him paralysed from the waist down, many thought Mr Leggett's days of adventure were behind him. But Mr Leggett did not.
After months in the hospital and hundreds of rehabilitation sessions, he has regained partial feeling in his legs and has returned to the world of adventure.
Mr Lambridis said he had high hopes the film would inspire people to "get out and live life to the fullest, just like Leggs does, without having to wait for life to knock you down first.
The film is online on the Source TeeVee channel: vimeo.com/47992160.
The audience voted Sundial, by Queenstown Climbing Club president Guillaume Charton, as the favourite in the festival's inaugural photography competition.
Adventure enthusiasts and film buffs flocked to Reading Cinemas Queenstown for the first time for the three-day programme of films, speakers and competitions.
Festival director Malcolm Blakey, of Arrowtown, said after sellout crowds at all the night-time sessions, the event would be back next year as part of the Winter Games Downtown Sessions, with more competitions, an exciting selection of adventure films from throughout the world, and more sessions across multiple venues throughout the region.
"We've been screening captivating and inspiring films for the last three days and nights and it's been fantastic. It was great to have excellent support from the locals, and we look forward to expanding the programme and offering the festival to a wider audience next year," Mr Blakey said.
