The Paddling Film Festival has been showcasing the very best paddling films since 2006. Be inspired to explore rivers, lakes and oceans, push extremes, appreciate wild places and fully embrace the paddling lifestyle. Experience the heart-thumping thrills of paddling huge spring run-off haystacks, gentle Scottish Highland canoeing, Icelandic sea kayak excursion, monster waterfall plunges and a doc about a vintage canoe guide from Algonquin Park. 8 short films in all! Presented with a 15 minute intermission.
The Paddling Film Festival World Tour is screened in more than 135 cities around the world. Join us! Then, go paddling. We’re pretty sure you’ll want to.
