Our Story
Trails Film is created by and for trail-loving communities. We are inspired by nature and culture and want to make an impact on the future of trails and our planet. We are in awe of the human spirit and all that is wild. To all of this, we dedicate our festival.
Trails Film premieres new programs every two years. 2024 will bring the third festival after the 2018 inaugural event, which took place in Santiago de Compostela in Spain. To learn more about our festivals visit our festivals page.
