Presented by Mountain Designs - The Women’s Adventure Film Tour returns for its 10th year, and we’re proud to once again share a collection of short films that celebrate remarkable women exploring the world around them.

Oscar-nominated actor Kristen Stewart makes her feature directorial debut with The Chronology of Water, an unflinching portrait of womanhood, survival, and artistry at the fragmented crossroads of memory and memoir, adapted from the autobiography of the same name by Lidia Yuknavitch.

A tense open road horror-thriller drenched in anxiety, depression, desperation, and unexpected humour. Friends on a late-night food run become trapped on an infinite highway with otherworldly terrors lurking beyond. Confined in their Jeep Cherokee, they must decide whether to accept their fate or attempt escape.

Directly following the break-out critical and box office success of 2025’s The Stolen Painting, acclaimed writer/director Pascal Bonitzer brings his unique perspective and directorial panache to Georges Simenon’s beloved Parisian detective Inspector Maigret – a French counterpart to Agatha Christie’s Poirot - as he attempts to solve the murder of a former diplomat with a long-held secret.

On Halloween Eve at Mossy Bottom Farm, excitement turns to dismay when the clumsy Farmer ruins the pumpkin patch. Shaun tries fixing it with science experiments, but things go wrong when a wild beast appears in the woods.

Celebrate 100 years of Buster Keaton’s The General, one of the finest masterpieces of silent cinema brought to life with a brand-new live original score written and performed by Ann Palumbo and The Flicksters. Brilliantly filmed and fueled with classic physical comedy, The General captures Buster Keaton at his timeless best. Proudly supported by Blue Mountains City Council and the Blue Mountains City of the Arts Trust Grants Program.

Reel Rock 20 brings the world’s greatest climbing stories back to the big screen with a thrilling new collection of films celebrating ambition, resilience and the relentless pursuit of the impossible.
