# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Best of the Fests: THE ART OF ADVENTURE
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 12 Nov, 2025 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The Salt Spring Film Festival's annual "Best of the Fests" series continues on Wednesday, November 12, with two screenings (at 3:00 pm and 7:30 pm) of THE ART OF ADVENTURE, co-presented by Salt Spring Arts with filmmaker Alison Reid and film subjects Robert Bateman, Bristol Foster & Briony Penn in attendance!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

In 1957, wildlife artist Robert Bateman and biologist Bristol Foster set out on a global expedition in a rugged Land Rover they named the Grizzly Torque – never imagining the extraordinary encounters that lay ahead.

As their exhilarating road trip takes them to the far corners of the globe, Bateman draws & paints the people and the wonders they encounter, while Foster films their adventures on a 16mm Bolex camera – footage which has miraculously survived for almost 70 years.

Decades later, the abandoned & long-lost Grizzly Torque is surprisingly rediscovered. As its hidden history emerges and a new owner restores it to its former glory, the tale unfolds of a remarkable friendship between two men across eight decades and their lifelong commitment to environmental activism through art & science.

From award-winning filmmaker Alison Reid (THE WOMAN WHO LOVES GIRAFFES), this unmissable around-the-world journey is both an endearingly entertaining buddy film and an environmental love letter.
