Banff Mountain Film Festival Coming to Everett

The Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival is returning to Everett, WA, at the Historic Everett Theatre on February 28 and March 1, showcasing an impressive lineup of outdoor adventure films. Founded in 1976, the festival has grown from a one-day event to a celebrated international gathering that attracts outdoor enthusiasts worldwide. The Friday screening will present the “Basalt” film list, featuring breathtaking films on kayaking, freeride skiing, and climbing, while Saturday will highlight the “Quartize” list with films on trail biking, snowboarding, and other outdoor pursuits. Tickets are available online, providing easy access for local attendees. In addition to showcasing thrilling films, the festival contributes significantly to the community by donating over $25,000 each year to environmental and recreational non-profits, including the North Cascades Institute and SUWA.

This commitment to community support is further exemplified by the ongoing involvement of festival founder Paul Fish, who continues to champion the connection between the festival and the outdoor community. By bringing this world-renowned festival to Everett, the event not only entertains but also fosters a deeper appreciation for nature and outdoor activities. As the festival approaches, excitement grows among local residents eager to experience the adventure on screen.
