About BANFF Mountain Film Festival World Tour

In 1976 in Banff, Alberta, a tight-knit group of climbers and outdoor enthusiasts conceived The Banff Festival of Mountaineering Films. This one-day gathering that became the renowned international Festival it is today.

In 1986, The Banff Mountain Film Festival began an outreach program to bring the Festival to other communities. This became known as the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. To get a feel for the experience yourself, click here.
