BANFF Film Festival: Virtual Edition
For 16 years the Moshannon Group of the Sierra Club has been proud to present the Banff Mountain Film Festival to central Pennsylvanians. If you’ve attended the showings, you have come to anticipate spectacular films featuring extreme outdoor challenges, environmental conflicts, international culture, and wondrous scenery. We are pleased to announce that this year, the Banff Mountain Film Festival World tour is going virtual and you can watch it from the comfort of your own home.
Currently there are four 2-hour programs available for viewing: the AMBER Program featuring 9 films, and the ONYX Program featuring 8 films, the RUBY Program featuring 8 films, and the SAPPHIRE Program featuring 3 films. You can purchase a single program for $15 and once you press play, you have 3 days to view the films. You can also purchase a two program bundle for $28 or the full 4 program bundle for $52, and you will have 14 days to view the films.
When you purchase tickets, you are supporting the Sierra Club Moshannon Group as the central Pennsylvania host of the 2020/2021 Banff Mountain Film Virtual Film Festival World Tour. The group and partners will get a portion of the ticket proceeds.
