SOAR Film Festival is the first of its kind in Northern Ontario, Canada: a unique partnership has emerged between Laurentian University’s Outdoor Adventure Leadership Program (ADVL) and Sudbury Indie Cinema. With so many film festivals moving towards the online or virtual platforms only this past year, this team thought it would be great to shift the focus on bringing adventure film-lovers together in a safe cinematic environment to view both top adventure films, as well as locally made films, in-theatre. The festival will contain a curated programme of adventure and outdoor travel-themed features from around the world, as well as adventures shorts- both local and international. Special consideration in the selection of films will be given to diverse voices, as well as those which feature outdoor activities and adventures enjoyed in Northeastern Ontario, namely: wilderness canoeing, back-country winter travel, Nordic skiing, kayaking, mountain biking, and climbing.
