Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival 2021

Our traditional Banff Program shows the best mountain and adventure films of the Banff Mountain Film Festival. Including : climbing, mountain biking and freeriding, as well as two dedicated environmentalists and as highlight the outstanding alpine documentary K2: The Impossible Descent.

Mountaineering, trekking & mountain biking. In our Himalaya Special you’ll meet an alpinist who tries to reveal Mount Everest's best kept secret: The Ghosts Above — and you’ll follow an ordinary piano from England to its most extraordinary destination: Piano to Zanskar.

The Snow Show is our program dedicated to skiing and snowboarding - not limited to powder action alone! You can also look forward to terrific drone footage of freeriding in the Alps, a trip with the Trans Siberian Railway - and: The Chairlift - an unusual ode to our ski resorts' most relentless helper.

Dear runners, this is our program for you. With the Running Special we’ve put together four documentaries about breaking speed records, finding one’s rhythm and maintaining endurance under most challenging circumstances - especially in the adventure documentary Running the Roof.
