Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival

October 30 – November 7, 2021 Banff, Alberta, Canada A WORLD-CLASS REPUTATION After 45 years, the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival has a proven track record as one of the most prestigious and largest mountain culture festivals in the world. Located in the stunning Canadian Rocky Mountains, the Festival is a programming-driven, competitive event bringing together the best films and books on mountains and the spirit of adventure from around the world. Due to continuing health restrictions, our 2021 festival will be a combination of both virtual online screenings and a select number of in-person theatre events. The festival offers you the chance to meet other filmmakers and industry professionals to exchange ideas and collaborate in a highly creative and inspiring atmosphere whether virtually or in person at Banff. It’s also a great opportunity to connect with leaders in the outdoor adventure field, including climbers, mountaineers, gear manufacturers, potential sponsors, and journalists. WORLD TOUR Films entered into competition will also be considered for inclusion in our World Tour programs that reach a global audience of over half a million people through theatrical and online screenings in about 45 countries. Short films are particularly popular for the programming flexibility they provide so if you are submitting a longer film, you may wish to also enter a shorter version in competition for both Festival and World Tour consideration (World Tour programs are typically 2 hours long and contain 5-9 mixed films). If your film is selected for the World Tour, our team will contact you to arrange a separate licensing agreement.
