Banff or Bust: Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival

For more than 35 years the Banff
Mountain Film and Book Festival has been the leading event of its
kind, drawing international filmmakers, conservationists, adventurers
and explorers to our mountain town.

This years guest speakers include rival Antarctic explorers James
Castrission, Justin James and Aleksander Gamme. For nine days guests can
attend seminars, film screenings and lectures to learn about and
experience some of the most remote places in the world.

Now that’s a mountain high. Sara Samson
