Banff Mountain Film Festival

This literary festival is focused on mountain literature, and features guest speakers, readings, seminars, and an international book competition.

The host organization in each tour location chooses a program that reflects the interests of their community.

[citation needed] Every year the Banff World Tour team chooses about 35–40 films that feature a range of styles and themes, including climbing, skiing, kayaking, biking, adventure, culture, and the environment.

Most World Tour screenings include a range of different themes (adventure sports, environment, mountain culture, heritage, etc.)

and styles (action-filled shorts; longer, more comprehensive films; amateur and professional productions; etc.).
