One of America’s longest-running film festivals, the Mountainfilm in Telluride Festival (Mountainfilm), will stop in Squamish for one night of epic adventure story telling through film.
Mountainfilm is presented by local company, VentureWeb, as a fundraiser for Squamish Search & Rescue (SSAR), on Thursday, March 8, at the Eagle Eye Theatre..
Dating back to 1979, Mountainfilm is dedicated to educating and inspiring audiences about issues that matter, cultures worth exploring, environments worth preserving and conversations worth sustaining.
“The films chosen to be shown in Squamish on March 8 will thrill a local audience and truly inspire, just as they inspired me when I first saw them at Mountainfilm in Telluride,” said James Morris of Venture Web, a Squamish digital marketing agency.
He said the films are diverse and a great fit for the Squamish and the Whistler community as people here are well aware of what it means to follow their passion in pursuit of that ultimate goal.
“The night will celebrate this approach to life, and will also generate valuable funds for SSAR. It’s going to be a great night with a film to suit all adventurous tastes.”
Mountain Life Magazine editor Feet Banks will be the evening’s emcee, ensuring the program remains lively and entertaining with his quality banter.
