Banff Mountain Film Festival Tickets

Films - good, but not super relatable. Example: RedBull-funded iceberg-waterfall-kayakers based on 125' former military ships! What? They have a ship with 5 crew, so four dudes can find icy waterfalls for 90-second rides? Then there was the ultramarathoner who did three 'ultras' in a season and somehow didn't die. Okay. Anyway, somehow these didn't work for me. But maybe I got off on the wrong foot when the venue made me throw my 2"penknife in the garbage before I went in the door. Hated that. Next year Banff? Eh. Maybe.

( I have viewed the Tour in Georgia and Maine in the same season previously. ) In New England, we were most connected with "109 below"but couldn't relate as well to others before intermission. Sorry to have missed offerings after the break.

Watching athletic performances I would never do but love watching others do in fantastic scenery. The camera operators should win a prize too!

Videos were engaging and moving. Lots of color, scenery and kick-ask action. Overall a great night. One drawback was audio/sound set dangerously loud for those of us who are trying to protect our hearing. Next time will bring ear plugs.

Great films. The collage of snippets at the beginning was fantastic. Other films were very good, although some were a bit long, causing the whole program to be too long. Great way to raise $ and awareness for local outdoor programs.

The films were all quality productions, but I attend Banff FF for the adrenalin rush, not the human interest stories that were the dominant theme of the evening. An LA kid interested in amphibians is great, but belongs on PBS, not Banff. Berkie tandem skiers was entertaining and probably the best film of the evening. Mountain biker destroying wilderness by going off trail has no place in this series.

The films they show stay with you long after you leave the theater. A piece of them stay with you forever. You only see them with Banff Film Festival!!

I loved the film selection. The location was good because it was near Metro stations in the downtown.

Extreme adventures and/or extreme locations beautiful photographed. It is always awesome, inspiring and a bit humbling. True eye candy. I truly get lost in the stories and the scenery.

what a disappointment. The screen was WAY TOO SMALL for the size of the venue, and only one side of the auditorium the speakers were working. The screen had a huge scratch that ran all the way across the screen and was annoying. With films of better quality, it was a shame the festival had such poor facilities to show their films.

The subtitles were white and most of the background (snow for instance) was white. So, you couldn’t read them. Pretty bad mistake I would say All the extremes sports movies were a tad bit much.

Loved ALL the films we saw at BANFF! They were varied and inspiring to live better. Live harder. Live with a bigger mindset. The only problem was we were unable to finish the film of two athletes biking and skiing across Europe, and I’m a cyclist and wanted to see how it ended! It was a technical difficulty I guess, but they went to intermission then picked up with the next video in the series. Otherwise I would have definitely rated the experience 5 stars!

Too bad there were technical difficulties. Resolved but missed the end of one short because of it. Some years are great!!!! Some tears I have been disappointed. I have been numerous times in multiple cities. This year was good+ !

Action packed! Delivered everything a mountain film festival should!

Both nights were excellent and we really enjoyed the variety.

Positives: The films were amazing in quality of the cinematography. Overall a nice variety of topics, themes, sports were covered. The Hawaiian cultural film had the message incredibly diluted by having so much coverage of the beautiful girl in the bikini, that was disappointing as the cultural impact on the natives of losing their cultureby having a non-written language forbidden is very relevant and impacted the people for many generations and likely will never be entirely recaptured. A few negatives: - In the past films were selected for our local market and were more relevant to our demographic and the overall interests of the community. -The theatre was not set up to accept the same ticket as a 2 day pass resulting in problems scanning in for the second night.

7th year at the Banff FF in Grand Junction, we look forward to seeing the films every year. 1st night wasn't as enjoyable as the 2nd night. Films were good this year, but only a few standouts for us! Still won't miss it again next year, as we love to support the local non-profits and it's fun to get out and connect with the community.

Such a fun annual event! An upbeat party atmosphere, a great variety of prizes and awesome film lineups. Every film is different but always of the highest variety . I heartily recommend this event for a great midwinter pick me up. An added benefit: it raises funds which the local Rotary Club puts towards its many local recipients. A win, win all the way around!!

Love these shows. This is about the only movie theater show I go to. It is more raw than a full production film.

This was our first experience of the Banff Film Festival and we were not sure what to expect. Since going both Friday and Saturday, I have recommended to all my family and friends that they must go if the opportunity presents. The stories are about individuals pursuing their dreams and making dreams happen for others. Many showed women excelling in an area and then opening the door for others to follow. Amazing what humans can do with both the mind and body.
