WAFT 2026 returns with an inspiring collection of short films showcasing remarkable women redefining adventure across trails, oceans, mountains and beyond. These are real stories of courage, connection and personal challenge - some quiet, some gritty, all deeply human.

Curated for audiences of all ages, this year’s program brings together diverse voices, cultures and sports, highlighting journeys that range from local escapes to world-first expeditions. More than just action on screen, WAFT invites audiences to reflect, feel inspired and celebrate what it means to step beyond your comfort zone in your own way.

Now screening globally and officially part of Jean Hailes Women’s Health Week in Australia, WAFT remains true to its spirit: bold storytelling, inclusive adventure, and celebrating every kind of woman’s journey on screen and in life for all.

Event includes prize giveaways, expo booths and on-stage hosts to introduce the film.
