Travel To Banff For the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival October 31 – November 8, 2015

ABOUT THE WORLD TOUR

The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings Banff to audiences around the globe. Immediately after the Festival ends in November, a selection of the best films go on tour across Canada, the United States, and internationally from Hungary to Colombia, Uganda to Venezuela, and points in-between. Each year, the films travel to approximately 40 countries reaching more than 430,000 people at over 900 screenings.

Host organizations in each tour location work with World Tour staff to choose the local program from a selection of films on exploration and adventure, culture and environment, and mountain sports.

The proceeds of many tour screenings benefit a local outdoor program, community cause, or a non-profit such as youth adventure and outdoor pursuit programs, search and rescue operations, climbing clubs, adaptive sport programs, conservation groups, and trail maintenance organizations.
