The Banff Mountain Film Festival is the most prestigious mountain festival in the world. Right after the festival, held every fall in Banff, Alberta, the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour travels the globe.
At each screening around the world, audiences will see a selection of award-winning films and crowd favorites from the hundreds of films entered into the annual festival.
The Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival is coming back live to Spokane on Friday, February 18 and Saturday, February 19 at the Bing Crosby Theater, continuing an over 30-year tradition.

This year’s Spokane tour stop at the Bing Crosby Theater features completely different evening programs of amazing outdoor films each night that combine mountain adventure, culture, and the environment.
For those who want a head start to get stoked to see the films live, there are two Virtual Banff Film Festival programs as well. The virtual film rental options, which are available now, are different from the live, in-person films that will be showing in Spokane in February.

Mountain Gear Founder Paul Fish Continues To Bring The Banff Film Fest To Spokane
The Banff Film Festival has been inspiring audiences by showcasing the world’s best films that highlight mountain adventure, culture, and the environment. Live To Play, a separate event arm of Spokane’s famed gear shop Mountain Gear, is bringing this year’s film festival to Spokane.
Mountain Gear founder Paul Fish has continued bringing the Banff Mountain Film Festival to Spokane and other communities around the West in his semi-retirement as a way to get people excited and engaged in the outdoors. Fish has watched this year’s films and says they are some of the best of all time.
“Camera gear and software has gotten small and relatively easier to use,” says Fish, which means individual creators and small expeditions can now film their own stories and turn out some really personal quality films.
