The Films
Rob Coffey - ‘Where the Sun Never Sets', winner of the National Paddling Film Fest - Best pro Documentary.


Rob Coffey hails from Dublin, Ireland, and has spent the last seven years travelling the globe in search of adventure. Rob's recent adventures include a tour of the ‘Axis of Evil' on Iran's Bakitari river, a malaria-ridden descent of Ethiopia's Blue Nile river in the rainy season and, most recently, a trip to the frozen north of Norway.

Rob's latest offering is a festival short about his recent trip to the Arctic Circle. One of the UK's top young whitewater kayakers, Rosie Cripps, talks about expedition kayaking in the Arctic from a female perspective. liveoncemedia.com
