35th Annual Banff Mountain Film Festival
October 30 – November 7, 2010

The Banff Mountain Film Festival is seeking mountain and adventure films! For over 30 years, the Banff Mountain Film Festival has showcased a selection of films from around the world during a nine-day festival that takes place annually in Banff, Canada. A pre-selection committee narrows down 50+ films from over 300 entries. The selected films are then viewed by our international film jury and shown to the public during the festival from October 30 to November 7, 2010. This year’s deadline will be August 3, 2010.

To receive up-to-date information on the film competition, please add your name to the Banff Mountain Film Festival mailing list.
