Outdoor cinema, but not like you’ve seen before!
Coming to Walton Hall and Gardens this summer, the Frontier Sapiens Film Festival is the UK’s largest open-air adventure film tour and is bringing inspiration and adventure to the big screen outdoors.
The Frontier Sapiens Film Festival showcases the best adventure, cultural and environmental films from around the world.
Join us for an evening of captivating, thought-provoking short films featuring inspiring untold stories of human endeavour. Travel the globe with some of the world’s best filmmakers, and experience extraordinary human spirit on the big screen.
Every great story starts with great people. It’s time to draw attention to those whose voices aren’t being heard, to celebrate those who are pushing boundaries or are leaders in their field, and to shine the spotlight on the captivating stories behind individuals working towards positive change in the world
