Film Programme

150 Hours From Home – Faction Collective
Skiing was born here. For thousands of years, nomadic herders in Mongolia’s Altai Mountains crossed vast peaks and plains on wooden skis—long before the modern sport existed.
In this latest Faction feature film, the team traces skiing back to its origins, travelling 150 hours from home into the heart of the Altai to reconnect with where it all began.

10 in a Weekend – Blair Aitken (British Backcountry)
A bold Scottish mountaineering challenge to hike, ski and showcase the UK’s ten highest mountains in a single weekend.
Blair Aitken, alongside Gavin Carruthers and George Treble, tackle some of Scotland’s finest ski descents in a race against the clock—aiming to complete the journey and return to Edinburgh in time for work on Monday morning.

Worth It Every Time
A distinctly Scottish ski film celebrating resilience, local talent and the determination required to ski in conditions that are rarely perfect. Rather than endless powder days, this film captures the “bloody-mindedness” that defines Scottish skiing and the unique rewards that keep people coming back season after season.

Dolomites – Commencal
After fifteen years of experience, Kilian Bron takes on the most exposed and demanding lines of Italy’s Dolomites.
This film offers an inside look at the dedication, trust and preparation required for high-alpine mountain biking at its most extreme, while reflecting on the friendships and connections formed along the way. Dolomites marks the beginning of a new trilogy, with future adventures leading into the mountains of Nepal.

The Last Forgotten Art
Is crack climbing the last forgotten art?
This beautifully shot film explores the creativity, commitment and physicality required to master off-width climbing—where hand jams, chicken wings, wedged knees and full-body wriggles are all part of the challenge. Following climbers Mel, Vicky and Steve at Ramshaw Rocks in the Peak District, the film celebrates a niche but passionate corner of the climbing world. Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Jessie Leong, The Last Forgotten Art is a story of connection—to self, to nature and to the bonds formed through sharing a rope.

This curated collection of films is presented in collaboration with the filmmakers and producers to raise vital funds for Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team. The team not only supports local adventurers when things go wrong, but also carries out day-to-day searches and rescues away from the beaten track.

To mark the occasion and support the team, there will be an exciting raffle on the night, with prizes generously donated by the film producers and local supportive businesses. Prizes include a brand-new pair of Faction Dancer skis, merchandise, signed books, meal and activity vouchers, and much more.
