2021 Banff Centre Mountain Film And Book Festival

When Fall arrives and snow dusts the mountain tops it means not only that skis season is just around the corner but also that the Banff Centre Mountain Film And Book Festival is here. Taking place in beautiful Banff Alberta each fall, the 2021 event runs from Oct 30th - Nov 7th.
  This year The Banff Centre Mountain Film And Book Festival is highlighting 76 films including 30 curated programs including mixed films, feature films and special bonus speaker content. There are three ways to enjoy the festival, you can attend in person, enjoy the Virtual Festival or you can take part in the Festival’s World Tour starting in January. Tickets to attend screenings are $15-$25 and the complete Virtual Festival is $150 which you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule. No money? no problem. There are a handful of free events you can attend in Banff over the course of the festival, get more info on those here and you can get the rundown on all the films and the schedule here.

If you are interested in the film competition finalists for 2021 you can view that list here and learn more about each film and course give them a watch too.



Rab is once again one of the Presenting Partners of the event along with Buff and Banff Lake Louise Tourism. We’ve been testing and reviewing Rab’s apparel and equipment for over a decade now and they are dar and away one of our favourite brands. Rab is named after accomplished mountaineer Rab Carrington who made the first Rab sleeping bag in 1981 and now they make a full line of rugged, high-performance mountain clothing and equipment that provide protection, comfort and freedom. Rab’s motto is  "Nothing fancy or over-engineered – just honest, hard-working pieces that you’d rather repair than replace. By climbers for climbers."

We hope to see you there as we’ll be in attendance taking in some of the free events and as many films as well can over the coming days.
