Film Festival

Last night we went down to Keyano Theatre to take in the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour -- and it was awesome! They showed 7 incredible films all about different aspects of mountain adventure and culture - all very inspiring with a splash of crazy. My two favourites were A Life Ascending and Fly or Die. The first follows the life of a back country ski guide in B.C, five years after an avalanche killed 7 of his skiers. The second was about this crazy mountain climber who climbs solo, without any ropes, but wears a parachute so if/when he falls he can fly instead of die. The footage is just unreal and a little sickening too!
The other films included mountain biking, downhill skateboarding, wildlife, more rock climbers and even one about building schools in Afghanistan.

I highly recommend you check this out if you get a chance. It's coming to a theatre near you, so get tickets if you can!! The schedule can be found here.
