National Geographic, The North Face and Parks Canada present The Banff
Mountain Film Festival World Tour
What is the
Banff Mountain Film Festival?
The Banff Mountain Film Festival is an
international film competition featuring the world's best footage on mountain
subjects. The festival began in 1976 and is held annually on the first weekend
in November in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The year 2011 marks the 36th anniversary
of the festival.
This year's film festival begins with the Feature-Length
Films Weekend on Saturday, October 29, and Sunday, October 30. Regular
programming runs Saturday, October 29, through Sunday, November 6. On Sunday
evening, the international jury will announce the Best of the Festival Award
Winners.
What is the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour?
Immediately after the festival in November, a selection of the best
films entered in the festival and goes on tour. The host organization in each
tour location chooses a program that reflects the interests of their community.
Each community creates a unique celebration of local adventure and
adventurers.
The world tour spans the globe, making its way from Austria to
Argentina and from Iceland to India. The world tour spans the globe reaching
over 200,000 audience members in 30 countries and 360 locations with over 550
screenings.
Many of the tour screenings benefit an outdoor program, community
cause, or a nonprofit organization. Some of the causes supported by the tour are
bursaries for outdoor pursuits, adventure programs for disadvantaged children,
search and rescue operations, climbing clubs, youth ski programs, and trail
maintenance groups.
