An Aussie legend takes centre stage at Brunswick Picture House for one night only on October 17.
Mark your calendars for an extraordinary night of adventure as the internationally acclaimed Radical Reels Film Tour makes its highly anticipated return to the House. In an exceptional showcase of homegrown talent, this year’s line-up features something truly special – an inspiring Australian story that’s capturing attention worldwide.
At the heart of this year’s program is Ian, a remarkable film by celebrated Australian filmmaker Matt Raimondo, showcasing the incredible journey of Ian Elliott, a 72-year-old climbing phenomenon from the Sunshine Coast. This isn’t just another climbing film; it’s a testament to the power of passion and determination. Watch in amazement as Elliott, who discovered climbing at age 45, tackles a grade 28 route – a feat that would challenge elite climbers of any age. His story, deeply-rooted in the Australian landscape from Girraween to the Sunshine Coast, proves that it’s never too late to reach new heights.

Each film has been picked from hundreds of entries to the prestigious Banff Mountain Film Festival, guaranteeing world-class cinematography and edge-of-your-seat action.
