NZ Mountain Film Festival – raise funds for your club

The NZ Mountain Film and Book Festival (NZMFF) runs in Central Otago each winter, showcasing a number of inspiring local and international mountain films covering a wide array of genres and themes. In 2024, NZMFF will take place from 21 – 25 June in Wānaka, and from 27 – 28 June in Queenstown.

After the festival, local clubs can organise screenings of the NZMFF National Tour around the country. Hosts pay a licence fee to the NZMFF for the films, then organise the screening directly with a suitable venue. Ticket sales can be used to raise funds for the host organisation.

If there is no local screening in your town yet, why not consider organising one as a fundraiser and promotional night for your club? Read more about how and why to host a screening on our Wilderlife.nz blog.

FMC School Tour – free films for schools & Scout groups

FMC is pleased to continue its support to the NZ Mountain Film festival, which allows the festival to offer a 45-minute selection of this year’s films to schools and Scout groups for FREE. Our aim is to help inspire the next generation of adventurers and mountain enthusiasts. 

The film selection will be made available from 1 August as an online download. Click here for more information, or contact  programme@mountainfilm.nz  to find out more or to register your school or Scout group.

FMC encourages clubs and supporters to mention this project to friends, families and schools, so we can get as many students in front of the free films as possible! All we ask in return is some feedback from the students on the films.
