For twenty five years, the Banff Mountain Film Festival has been celebrating the spirit of adventure and the mountain environment. Each November, the world's best films on mountain themes draw an international audience to the town of Banff, Canada. From grassroots beginnings in 1976 when approximately 250 people gathered to view 10 films, the festival now attracts audiences of 8000 plus with over 130 films submitted from 25 countries.

Thirteen years ago, The Banff Mountain Film Festival began an outreach program to bring the festival to other communities. Festival organizers wanted to showcase the efforts and talents of the world's finest mountain filmmakers with a "Best of the Festival" program. Like the first festival in Banff, the tour began small: three cities in central Canada. Today, the best films from each year's festival go on tour immediately following the three-day event in Banff. The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings some of the world's best mountain films and videos to thousands of people who cannot make the annual trek to the Canadian Rockies. We hope you will join us when the tour visits your town or city!
