The Banff Mountain Film Festival is one of the world’s preeminent mountain festivals. The Festival began more than 35 years ago in 1976 in the small Rocky Mountain town of Banff, Alberta. What began as a one-day festival of climbing films, has now blossomed into a nine-day event in Banff and a year-round film tour which encompasses over 500 screenings on all continents (yes, we go to Antarctica!). Climbers, filmmakers, writers, and photographers from all over the world now recognize Banff as the key event in their mountain community; sharing stories with fellow mountaineers and armchair adventurers alike is a coveted privilege. Since its inception in the late 1970’s we have accepted more than 5000 films into our coffers, an impressive film archive of climbing and mountaineering, outdoor adventure, mountain culture and environmental films.

Cost: 12.50
