Our Mission Statement:
" Dedicated to filmmakers who spark awareness of mountain cultures, fragile environments, and the passion and perseverance of global explorers."
Mountains / Waterways / Culture / Environment
We believe in celebrating mountain culture through film and offering a meaningful local social engagement with our audience.
We strive for a balanced variety of films that create an engaging pace via films that focus on the environment, mountain cultures, adrenaline and those inspiring characters who keep challenging human powered endevours. (Canadian spelling!)
We are a two night event with limited time, our format works best with two feature films and a dozen shorter films. So we generally don't choose films over 60 minutes and really like the 12-20 minute adventure films.

    We loved that our film project was selected and hope that everyone enjoyed watching it. Hopefully we can visit Fernie in person next time.
