FMC is giving away 2 Festival Passes for the NZ Mountain Film and Book Festival.
A festival pass gives the holder a seat to any film, speaker, book talk and workshop at either Wanaka (June 29 to July 4) or Queenstown (5 to 7 July) and is valued at $119 each. These highly sought after passes sold out months ago!
