The CC sponsored the film competition at the Llanberis Mountain Film Festival (LLAMFF) this year and Laetitia and I got to go, along with Keith and Fiona, to represent the club.
It’s a fantastic local event for all things mountain with a packed programme including mountain film, lectures, art, and partying! It’s an awesome biannual gathering.

(The prize is the knife, not the microphone! 😉 )
So what did we think of the programme events we attended?
- George Smith’s winner, Upside-Down Wales, was super funny – a must see film – go watch it, mandatory viewing!
- We particularly loved Nick Bullock’s “animated” presentation! Electric Mountain will never let him loose on a table again… ❗
- Tim Emmett was typically “extreme”. But the video of night time BASE jumps was spoilt by the fact they were at night. You couldn’t see anything but dim outlines on a black screen. Doh!
- The Slate of the Art session was a let down – running 200% overtime (1 hour became 3) with poor slide projection of high quality pictures. Years ago, before digital pictures and projection, dim and low powered slide projectors were OK, today they aren’t. With more pace (say sticking to the planned 1 hour slot), a bit more rehearsal, and some pre-work digitising the slides and it might have been a hit…
