JAMESTOWN – The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour will make a stop in Jamestown Wednesday Night.
This year’s World Tour features a collection of the most inspiring action, environmental, and adventure films from the festival and showcases the very best mountain filmmakers, allowing you to experience the stories that inspire us to continue exploring our environments.
The 2014/2015 World Tour is an exhilarating and provocative exploration of the mountain world, with films highlighting exotic landscapes and remote cultures, and bringing audiences up-close and personal with adrenaline-packed action sports.
From 372 films entered into the annual festival, award-winning films and audience favorites are among the films chosen to travel the globe.
Join the Roger Tory Peterson Institute of Natural History when the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings the spirit of outdoor adventure to Jamestown at the Reg Lenna Center for the Arts on Wednesday, April 8 at 7 p.m.
Jamestown will feature films such as DamNation, Mending the Line, and Tashi and the Monk.
Explore the economic, environmental and cultural value of a river as DamNation goes behind the myths surrounding hydro energy. In 1944, 20-year-old Frank Moore landed on the beaches of Normandy. Now, at the age of 90, he returns with his wife and son to heal the wounds of his past by fly-fishing the streams he once helped free in Mending the Line. On a remote mountaintop in the foothills of the Himalaya, a former Buddhist monk is transforming the lives of abandoned children through love and compassion. Tashi might be his biggest challenge as she struggles to make friends, and learns that love can help heal even the saddest memories in Tashi and the Monk.
