In November, everything in Graz revolves around the latest outdoor films. Mountainfilm Graz transforms the city into a hotspot for outdoor and mountain enthusiasts – and is also celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.
To mark the occasion in style, there will be an anniversary event at the Filmzentrum in the Rechbauerkino. A selection of award-winning films from the last 40 years will be screened over two days as part of this special festival edition. Classics spanning the festival’s wide range of themes illustrate the success story of this Graz event with its global connections. These include, for example, the production ‘Stone Monkey’ – awarded ‘Best Climbing Film 1988’ – about the British climber Johnny Dawes, and ‘Mount St. Elias’ – ‘Best Adventure Film 2009’ – by Gerald Salmina (Austria).
The regular festival will then take place at the Schubertkino and Congress Graz, featuring the latest films across the festival’s four categories and an informative supporting programme. Nature documentaries filmed using state-of-the-art camera technology showcase life on Earth in unprecedented detail. In “Steile Welt – zwischen Abgrund und Zuflucht” (Steep World – Between Abyss and Refuge) by director Patrick Centurioni, one of Europe’s last truly wild habitats is examined up close. The director and the film crew of the latest ORF Universum production are expected to attend the film’s world premiere at Mountainfilm Graz.
Over the five days of the Mountainfilm Graz 2026 festival, a varied programme is on offer, featuring the best films on topics such as climbing and mountaineering, environmental issues and the history of expeditions.
