Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour

Coming to Middle TN

March 25, 2008

Hey Middle TN Members!

Want to watch some serious Eco-adventure films? Films that feature a
broad cross-section of styles and themes; including climbing, skiing,
kayaking, adventure, culture and the environment. Banff Mountain Film
Festival's World Tour is coming to Nashville on Tuesday, March 25,
2008. For thirty-two years the Banff Mountain Film Festival (BMFF) has
been celebrating the spirit of adventure and the mountain environment.

Each November, the world's best films on mountain (and outdoors)
themes draw an international audience to the town of Banff, Canada,
located in the Canadian Rockies. Then about twenty years ago, BMFF
began an outreach program to extend the festival to other communities
and to people who cannot make the annual trek to the Canadian Rockies.
Festival organizers wanted to showcase the efforts and talents of the
world's finest mountain filmmakers. Today, the best films from each
year's festival go on tour immediately following the three-day event
in Banff.

The BMFF tour makes its only stop in Tennessee in Nashville at
Montgomery Bell Academy's Paschall Theater (in the Davis Building –
4001 Harding Road) on Tuesday, March 25, at 7:00 p.m. (CT). Tickets
will be available around March 10 at Blue Ridge Mountain Sports
(615-356-2300) at 108 Page Rd in Belle Meade ahead of the show for $10
per person. Please note, due to the popularity of this event – and
tends to sell out - it is wise to purchase your tickets at Blue Ridge
Mountain Sports ahead of time.

This event is for everyone; whether you are an experienced mountaineer
or an armchair adventurer, you won't want to miss the best of mountain
and outdoor adventure films on the big screen!
