Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour
Hosted by the Sierra Club Moshannon Group
This year, we are pleased to announce that the Sierra Club Moshannon Group will host three unique film packages from the 50th anniversary of the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival at the State Theatre.
Family packages are being offered this year at the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour at the State Theatre. All three unique film programs (Friday night at 6:30, Saturday at 1:00 pm and Saturday night at 6:30) include coarse language and some nudity. The suggested age of children is 8+. Come early and explore the attic where you can learn about other local groups in our area working on environmental issues. Visit all tables and get a chance to win a prize from the Sierra Club.
Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour was born from Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival which began in Banff, Alberta. In 1976 a tight-knit group of climbers and outdoor enthusiasts conceived The Banff Festival of Mountaineering Films. This was a one-day gathering that became the renowned international Festival it is today.
Over 30 years ago, Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival began an outreach program to bring the Festival to other communities. This has become known as Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour.
Like the first festival in Banff, the tour began small – three cities across Canada. Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour now reaches over 40 countries and brings mountain films to an audience of over 550,000 worldwide in approximately 550 locations.
Join us in coming together to celebrate the spirit of adventure with Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival and World Tour.
