At twenty eight, ADVENTURE FILM FESTIVAL is out of knee pants and clearly out of the blocks. We are now of an age to drink our water straight, firm in our sense of who we are, yet still youthful enough to regularly reexamine our sense of the planet.
So we find ourselves at age nineteen still youthful in our eagerness for new valleys, peaks or paradigms, reverential of good art, storytelling and science, and eager to part, gently perhaps, the waves and mists that yet cloak the mysteries of this planet. This jam-packed judgement of celluloid will provide numerous tantalizing delights from every inch of the medium. This Festival tries to spread the creativity, enthusiasm, and activism inherent in adventure.
