FOR the very first time the prestigious Kendal Mountain Film Festival comes to Cardiff for an extremely important cause – to raise funds for the Nepal Earthquake Appeal.

On Friday, July 10, the very best action and adventure films from around the world have been carefully selected to showcase a wide range of fantastic high-adrenaline mountain activities.

All of the proceeds from this event will go towards delivering aid directly to the people of Nepal following the recent devastating earthquakes. The three charities involved – International Porter Protection Group, Porters Progress UK and Community Action Nepal – have over twenty years experience of working in the remote mountain regions of Nepal, and are dedicated to rebuilding the lives, homes and communities that have been destroyed.

The films being shown on the night are: Dejame Vivir (Winner of Best Adventure and Exploration Film); Where Walking Took Me (Winner of Best Short Film); Sounds of Paragliding (Winner of Best Sound Award); Balloon Highline; All My Own Stunts; and Alone On The River. The event will be hosted by Doug Scott CBE.

Thrillseekers from across South Wales are invited to experience a night of breathtaking and action-packed cinema, all in the aid of a worthy cause.

Tickets cost £15 (bookings subject to a £2.95 Ticketing Service Charge - exemptions apply).
