2024 Paddling Film Festival World Tour – Hosted by Discover White River & Friends of the White River

The Paddling Film Festival has been showcasing the very best paddling films since 2006. Be inspired to explore rivers, lakes and oceans, push extremes, appreciate wild places and fully embrace the paddling lifestyle. Join us at a World Tour theatre screening then, go paddling. We’re pretty sure you’ll want to.

Celebrate diverse and compelling narratives from paddling communities worldwide with the 2024 Friends of White River Paddling Film Festival Presented by Discover White River. This series of short films has been a worldwide phenomenon since 2006, being brought to the Indianapolis Independent Film Scene to inspire participants to Make Indy A River City. This unique event offers the chance to watch a special trailer from local storyteller and cinematographer, Jerald Harkness, from his documentary “When Everyone Swims.” All proceeds from this event will benefit Friends of White River in their mission to protect, preserve, and promote our vital resource for communities in Central Indiana by connecting people to the White River.
