The BMC Women in Adventure Filmmaking Workshop is an engaging session designed for budding filmmakers to sharpen their skills, explore new techniques, and build valuable connections. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your craft, this workshop is for you.

During the two hour session, you'll rotate through three focused sessions led by expert filmmakers, each lasting 25 minutes. Bring your own film ideas to develop and discuss with our mentors and there will be time for networking at the end of the session.

This event takes place after the 2026 Women in Adventure Winners have been crowned and shown earlier in the day at Kendal Mountain Festival.
