2008-2009 Banff Mountain Film Festival
Here at Virtual Blue Ridge, one of our favorite events is the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour that has come to Boone, NC for the past 13 years. In fact, our president regularly attends this event.
If you have never had the great fortune of attending this special film screening, all of us here suggest you do so. The quality of work is amazing. Check out the Banff Movie Trailer:
Based on the other previews, it looks like this year’s screening is going to be another huge hit and tickets will probably sell fast. Find out about tickets and showtimes, as well as links to more trailers by checking out the Banff Festival press release.
I asked Andrew Miller with Appalachian State University’s Outdoor Programs what the relationship was between the Appalachian Mountain Photography Competition and the film festival. He said, “We see it as a way for people to more actively engage with the various themes that are presented in the film and it brings attention to our own local resources at a time when we are exploring them through the Banff films.”
Based on previous screenings, I really couldn’t agree more!
