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.
We generally see the Banff( the BFF, as I call it:) at p laces close to our Louisville Ky home, dreaming of being in Banff to see it there! This time Huntington was near and so we made a trip there overnight( holiday activities impinging on a longer stay). The Keith Albee Arts Ctr is in a beautiful old theatre there. The films were wonderful as always. We esp. enjoyed the Hawaii one, as we had recently made a trip there for our 54th anniversary, making it our 49th state to visit( plus adding a few National Parks to our record). Honestly ALL were amazing. We live in a wonderful world and encourage all readers to see as much as they are able for as long as possible! And SUPPORT my BFF in any way you can!
If you like human interest stories that's what you got. Wasn't nearly as action-packed, adventuresome and exciting as Banffs in the past.
We had a great time. This was our first experience attending the film festival and it exceeded our expectations with the imagery, music, and thrilling adventures.
Repeat viewer! I gave tickets as presents because I liked it some much last year. I am not a skier or climber but I can enjoy the efforts of others and their experiences. Many of these films give inspiration to go and try something new or try what I’ve wanted to try. They also inspire me to do my best, not give up, and just try. Much better than regret down the road for not trying.
I have always enjoyed the BMFF and look forward to every year when it comes to town (Knoxville, Tn). Great films on the world I love.
Always an energetic atmosphere, and breathtaking cinematography! Puts things in perspective for me. A wonderful way to gain fulfillment and satisfaction every year.
First you must understand that this runs for 2 nights but are COMPLETELY different shows. You will see more adventures packed into these 2 nights then you can possibly imagine. The filming is always fantastic and even if you are a couch potato you will enjoy every moment.just wow! Do not miss Banff Film Festival if ever given the opportunity
We have been to several of these, both the mountain film festival and radical reels over the years and this was the dullest group as a whole we have ever seen. The projectionist had the volume set too low. The venue itself was very nice and comfortable. We have never been to a showing that was not sold out and this one was around 2/3rds capacity, and maybe the ongoing pandemic had something to do with it. Looking forward to the February radical reels, but this one left us wanting more.
Amazing experience watching a variety of inspiring films. Makes me want to take skiing, climbing and running to the next level! So many bada$$es featured!!
This was so inspiring and made me want to get out into the wilderness. It also opened my eyes to the negative impacts people have on the outdoors.
Banff is always a first class inspirational event!
our quest was variety, we achieved variety, we'll b back
