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.
The Festival celebrates amazing achievements in outdoor storytelling and filmmaking worldwide. From the over 400 entries submitted into the festival each year, award-winners and audience favorites are among the films that are carefully selected to play in theatres around the world. 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.
Traveling to remote vistas, analyzing topical environmental issues, and bringing audiences up close and personal with adrenaline-packed action sports, the 2024/2025 World Tour is an exhilarating and provocative exploration of the mountain world.
