Friday Night Feature
Join us to view the new documentary film, Girl Climber. Professional climber Emily Harrington has summited Everest and other 8,000-meter peaks, and dominated the competition circuit, but her greatest challenge extends beyond the physical. To cement her legacy in the male-dominated world of elite rock climbing, she sets her sights on a career-defining, 24-hour ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan.
After the viewing, we will host a panel of female adventure athletes talking about what it's like to excel in the male-dominated area of adventure sports.
Till next year Baby Cecil! Baby Cecil packs up and returns to his other home at Ashfield’s library.
The 17th Annual FilmFest was a smash hit - we hope you were able to be there. View some of 2025’s fantastic winning short films.
“Everyone leaves in a good mood. Perhaps I’m reviewing the community as a whole, but after my second year attending, this is something I’m scheduling my calendar around from now on.”
