Few films get your adrenaline pumping out of your ears and jumping out of your seat with electrifying energy to explore the world like the Banff Mountain Film Festival. For outdoor enthusiasts and adrenaline junkies, the Banff Mountain Film Festival provides the ultimate action and adventure movie experience. Each year, Festival organizers search for exciting and captivating stories to share with audiences around the world, and they are calling for more women to submit their films!
Festival films feature people around the world experiencing adventure and action sports of all types, from the popular to the offbeat. The films show us how big the world is and our place in it. The stories display raw human emotions and remind us that as people we are all connected, no matter what country we live in or what our culture may be.
If you have an opportunity to get tickets to experience the Banff Mountain Film Festival in your community, do it! Be sure to invite your adventure buddies and family to join and share the stoke. Watching the films will get people of all ages fired up and excited to explore the outdoors. Don't be surprised if you find yourself elbowing your friend, telling them, "we need to go there!" as the films present incredible nature scenery. The Festival's films are a vivid reminder that there is so much out there in the world for us to explore.
Unlike the typical movie theatre experience, audiences who purchase tickets to see Festival films bring their enthusiasm to the theatre. Joining your local outdoor community, the audience hoots and hollers while watching people on the screen taking nail-biting risks and pursuing their passions. The films explore the local cultures and mountain communities that we rarely see, and open our eyes to new ways of life.
Visiting the FAQ page of the Banff Mountain Film Festival, the third most-asked question is: Why aren't there more films featuring women? Film creators responded to the question, noting that, "this is an ongoing interest for both audiences and our team." The Banff Centre website states, "we pro-actively look for films that feature women."
"We encourage filmmakers and female athletes to create and submit films that include women, and we hope to be able to present more in the future."
The response goes on to say that the reason they don't have more short films featuring women is that there are few films that meet their high quality standards. The Banff Mountain Film Festival website includes a call to action: "We encourage filmmakers and female athletes to create and submit films that include women, and we hope to be able to present more in the future."
Regardless of whether or not we're watching adventurous women in action or cheering on our male counterparts, the Banff Mountain Film Festival is a worthwhile experience and one to share with friends and family.
