The film line up will be:

Tina Climbs Tings – 25mins.

The diminutive Tina Breslin at 5' 2" finds solace in climbing highball boulder problems. Recently diagnosed with ADHA Tina's overactive brain can be a difficult place to be and it is in climbing highballs where Tina finds focus and harmony. We follow Tina's climbing year through many stunning lines in North Yorkshire and the Lakes all supported by gentle giant: Ian Henderson, Tina’s partner weighing in at 6' 4". Much like Tina the film is a sweet and charming exploration of the mental benefits of climbing as she battles her neurological state and a severe lack of reach. The grand conclusion raises the stakes with an attempt at 'Hang the Gallows High' a route where falling is not an option.

Game of Stones – 90mins

A roaring tour de force of all things UK trad climbing. 2025 proved to be one of the best in living memory and film maker Al Lee has been on a mission to document as much of the action as possible. Game of Stones offers a broad cross section of UK trad climbing presenting a modern and vibrant scene. We delve into what makes UK trad so unique, we might not have big walls or stable conditions; what we do have is history, ethics and tonnes of tradition!

Highlights include jaw dropping on sights from the likes of Siebe Vanhee, Robbie Phillips, Steve McClure and Mat Wright, first ascents from Ferdia Earle, Ian Cooper and Franco Cookson. Superb and impressive hard repeats from Billy Rydal (Rhapsody), Katie Keely (Always the Sun), then watch in awe as blind climber Jess Dufton makes his most impressive ‘non-sight’ to date with an ascent of ‘Howling Gale’ E3 6a in Pembroke.

The epic documentary delves into Britain’s climbing ethics and history cementing what makes the climbing on this geological wonder so unique. Cameos from Zoe Wood, John Dunne and Tanya Meridith all paint a modern, entertaining and vibrant picture.

The film makes the most not only of endless sunshine of 2025 but diverse locations from the Cuillins to Pembroke, Sca Fell to North Wales and Ben Loyal to Yorkshire limestone.

Strap in for another classic to rival anything in the BritRock canon.
