To let you know, the short 10 minute version of Dan Heaton’s yet-to-be-released film Revolution 1 screened November 3 in Banff, Canada, as part of the Banff Mountain Film Festival. The Banff festival is the Cannes of mountain films, so it’s very competitive and it’s really cool that they selected it for screening.
Rev1 was also selected to be on the Banff Festival World Tour. This is the world’s biggest outdoor film festival tour and screens in multiple locations in 35 countries, from now until Fall 2010.
Here is a link to the tour schedule for countries except for Canada and the US.
Tour locations play a selection of films that are on the world tour. When Skilletto, Unizaba and Whitetrax played on the tour they screened most places, so I hope Rev1 will too. But if you want to check it out you might contact the local organizer and request it - definitely it would be great to see it screen as many places as we can so that would be really appreciated.
I have been going to the Banff Film Festival for many years. It comes to my city in January and I’ve been excited about seeing this film there for a while now. They even wrote an article about it in the festival magazine.
I will make sure that I email the hosts and specially request it.
There was a unicycle film there either last year or the year before that was the crowd favourite both nights. (they played it the first night but since everyone liked it so much they played it again the second night)
Bugger, I can only see it in April, and in Austin They’re also showing Rowing The Atlantic, about Roz Savage’s solo row across the Atlantic. She’s also done 2 stages out of 3 rowing the Pacific solo. She does a podcast at twit.com from the ocean when she’s in the middle of the journey.
