The Mountaineers
The world-renowned Banff Centre's Banff Mountain Film Festival celebrates its 47th year, continuing to bring the best action, environment, and adventure films to audiences in Banff and no less than 40 countries across the globe. Join The Mountaineers to catch our last showing of Banff in Olympia on March 24-26.
Olympia | March 24-26, 2023
Olympia Mountaineers and the Olympia Film Society have been sponsoring the Banff film festival for more than 25 years, and the full three-night program is back for the first time since 2019. For many, the evening includes an early dinner with friends followed by standing in line to secure the best viewing seats in the theater.
Proceeds from the film festival support our outdoor courses and activities including hiking & backpacking, first aid, sea kayaking, navigation, alpine scrambling, alpine skiing and snowshoeing, stewardship, and youth activities.
THE BANFF EXPERIENCE
Films shown at the Banff Mountain Film Festival are chosen from over 400 entries submitted to the festival each year. The selected films allow you to get up close and personal with the mountain world.
Three series of films have been reserved - one for each night of the festival. Each series has a unique set of films, and these films are not available for online viewing in the Banff Virtual Tour. Gaze up at the big screen from your comfortable seat and allow yourself to be transported to the worlds of outdoor adventure.
Door prizes will be given away during the evening including gym passes from the Cirque and books from Mountaineers Books.
