Over the weekend of Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 November, we will be screening 20 of the very best, audience and judges favourite feature films, one from each year. The event will take place at the Showroom, hosted by festival director Matt Heason. Over the 20 years Matt has watched more than 5,000 adventure films. These are the best of the best. They will be screened in order, split into 8 manageable blocks of between 90 and 150 minutes.
ShAFF Weekend Pass We'd really like to encourage our die-hardest of fans to sign up for the whole weekend, to immerse yourselves in a true evolution of adventure film. As such, until September 20 we will only be selling a full weekend ticket. If there are seats left after September 20 we will release both Saturday and Sunday tickets, as well as individual session tickets.

Jon Muir crosses Australia on foot from South to North.
Oil & Water
Dir: Seth Warren, 2008, 34mins
Oil & Water tells of the adventures of Seth Warren and Tyler Bradt, two friends and world-class kayakers who drove, petroleum-free, over 21,000 miles down the Pan-American Highway in a retrofitted biodiesel Japanese fire truck named "Baby".
