About the event
Co-presented by Wilderness Supply and The WECC.
The Paddling Film Festival is an annual film tour, produced by Rapid Media, that show-cases the best paddling films of the year. After humble beginnings at a local hall in Palmer Rap-ids, Ontario, Paddling FilmFestival has become a sought after international event series that inspires individuals, organizations and whole communities to celebrate all types of paddlesports. The Paddling Film Festival begins as a film contest. Each year more than 90 films are entered by professional producers and up-and-coming filmmakers from all corners of the world.
The Paddling Film Festival committee narrows these submissions down to a shortlist of films and then decides upon winners for each category. The winning and shortlisted films are then toured around the world as the Paddling Film Festival.
