The Banff Mountain Film Festival is on tour and has several stops scheduled for mountain towns in Utah. This event is the de facto film fest for all things outdoors with a focus on rock climbing, mountaineering, skiing and exploring the vertical world in remote places across the earth.
According to festival organizers, the Banff Mountain Film Festival, tackles “current mountain issues” by bringing the best mountain-themed films of the year to the big screen.
