Some stories
are bigger
than the screen.

Wild places. Human journeys.
Films that stay with you long after the lights come up.

01 / THE BIGGER PICTURE

A window to the wild.
A room full of connection.

A meeting place for people who make extraordinary films—and people who want to see the world differently.

Our festival brings the spirit of the outdoors into the cinema. We’re building a platform for documentary directors, producers, screening spaces and curious audiences, connected by stories of adventure, nature and the human experience.

Next edition: 25 January 2027 · Venue and programme to be announced

02 / LOOKING BACK

Our story began
with a shared screen.

Dhaka Mountain Film Fest
Dhaka, Bangladesh · 10 January 2020

Before this next chapter, there was Dhaka Mountain Film Fest. Organised by Audree in association with The Basecamp, Bangladesh, the January 2020 event brought outdoor adventure into a shared cinema experience.

That gathering remains part of our story—and the inspiration for what comes next under Bengal Outdoors.

THE ANNOUNCED 2020 PROGRAMME

Eight international films across two screening sessions, exploring mountaineering, trekking, climbing, cycling and mountain rescue.
