Adventure is synonymous with exploring what we fear the most—the unknown. From personal growth to pushing the limits, these films define what it means to seek out the unknown and live toward adventure.
Adventure Program 2023
Adventure is synonymous with exploring what we fear the most—the unknown. The unknowns of harsh environments and within ourselves. Even those of what our future holds. For the stars of the Adventure 2023 virtual program, it’s a couple’s bold 45-day multi-sport expedition across the Arctic Archipelago in A Baffin Vacation. It’s a father putting his life at risk to standup paddleboard around mainland Britain while raising awareness of accidental drownings and breaking world records in Circumnavigate.
To one raft crew, adventure is following the 1869 route of explorer John Wesley Powell to articulate the future of water in the American West and whether the Colorado is A River Out Of Time. For 87-year-old Dale Sanders, it’s a trial of the human spirit as he attempts to reclaim the title as the oldest person to paddle the full source-to-sea on the Mississippi River. Witness how the endeavors of these paddlers and more unfold in the Adventure Program 2023.

A River Out Of Time
In 1869, a small group of surveyors led by John Wesley Powell set out to map the unknown extent of the Colorado River Basin. 150 years later, a team set out to raft in Powell's footsteps in an effort to reevaluate Powell's legacy, absorb the unquantifiable power of place, and articulate what the future may hold for water in the American West.

Producers: Ashley Peel, Thomas Minckley, Jessica Flock, Paul Hirt, Linda Hirt
Bad River - Winner of Best Environmental Film

Greybeard: The Man, The Myth, The Mississippi - Winner of Best Canoeing Film
Dale “GREYBEARD” Sanders challenges himself to set another world record, trying to reclaim his title as the oldest person to paddle the full source to sea on the Mississippi River. At 87 years old, it takes perseverance and an attitude that says, “One of these days I’ll get old."
Director: Zak Rivers
Producers: Zak Rivers, Alex Maier, Kyle Johnson, Amy Robin
Best Canoeing Film Sponsor: Nova Craft Canoe
Circumnavigate - Winner of Best SUP Film
Tragedies in former lifeguard Brendon Prince's past forced a change in his life to pursue water safety education. In the pursuit of raising awareness for this cause, he must put his own life at risk, pushing his limits and attempting something no one has accomplished before. Circumnavigate follows the South Devon-based father of three as he attempts to become the first person to standup paddleboard around mainland Britain in hopes of breaking five world records—a challenge many have tried, but none have achieved.
Director & Producer: Will Reddaway
Icelands most remote peninsula: Hornstrandir by Kayak - Winner of Best Kayak Film
Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, Hornstrandir is damn fresh even in summer, and this northern coast is hardly protected. In paddling Iceland’s most remote peninsula, this group of kayakers learns how to fail beautifully.
Director & Producer: Eike Köhler
Best Kayak Film Sponsor: TRAK Kayaks
The Glen Beyond
In February 2022, the British Isles were hit by three consecutive storms, some of the strongest seen in decades. In the days before the storms arrived, a group of paddlers decided to change their plans for a canoeing expedition while already en route to Scotland. Instead of paddling the exposed lochs along the west coast, they changed course, opting for a more sheltered location. A glen tucked away at the heart of the highlands.
Director: Jamie Barnes
