So what actually happens at a film festival then?
That’s a good question, especially as the UK’s biggest and best outdoors film festival is just around the corner.
Kendal Film Festival has been doing what no other outdoor festival has managed to do for years, well since 1980 in fact.Following a hibernation period it came back to earth with a big hard bump in 1999 and has been growing ever since.
It is now without doubt the best one of its kind in the UK and possibly Europe too.
The Festival is, unsurprisingly, in the wonderful setting of Kendal and there are lectures and film showcases in a whole host of different venues and locations across the city.
There is an incredible selection of high end top line speakers and lectures throughout the four days including people like:
Simon Yates, Major Phil Packer, Ueli Steck, Suzy Madge, Karina Hollekim and countless others!
The show piece film is the Asgard Project with Leo Holding.

But it isn’t just limited to that.
there are over 50 plus films being shown as well as book show cases, award ceremonies and of course the ubiquitous party that ends up being incredibly messy and, more often than not, a good place to embarrass yourself!
