Join us at the Society for an exploration-themed night of thought-provoking short films that illuminate the diverse ways outdoor storytellers are putting their talents to task. Meet fellow film buffs, exploration enthusiasts and filmmakers in our Map Room bar before and after the event.
Our programme of short films and documentaries feature a diverse range of voices and subject matter, storytelling styles, purposeful journeys and fascinating adventures.
This event will include Q&As after each film and end with a panel discussion with the film makers.
