The Teton Climbers' Coalition's AlpinFilm is a two-day mountain film festival held each January in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. AlpinFilm 2025 will take place January 17-18, 2025 at Jackson Hole's premier performing arts venue, The Center for the Arts.

Informed by Jackson Hole’s identity as the epicenter of American mountaineering, AlpinFilm features climbing, skiing and mountaineering films that distill the essence of the alpine experience into cinematographic excellence. From homegrown adventures to international expeditions, the Tetons have inspired climbers and ski mountaineers to push physical, mental and spiritual boundaries for more than a century. That legacy informs the selection of our films and the composition of our audience, which includes the local mountain community and winter visitors alike.

AlpinFilm’s emphasis on storytelling and on films that span the globe is a tribute to the Tetons and the international community they inspire. More than a showcase of adventurous acts, AlpinFilm explores the reasons we embark on adventures in the first place.

AlpinFilm is modeled on The Alpinist Film Festival, which ran from 2004-2008, attracting more than 2,000 audience members at its peak. All proceeds from the event underwrite the work of The Teton Climbers’ Coalition, a 501c3 non-profit organization that stewards, advocates and engages on behalf of the Teton climbing community.
