Mountain sports film festival comes to Redlands
Mountain sports film festival comes to Redlands
Mountain bikers tearing across snow-capped slopes and kayakers shooting down speeding rivers are among the stars of an annual film festival in Redlands this week.
The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is an international Canadian film competition that celebrates extreme sports in even more extreme environments. It includes short films about cave explorers, alpine skiers, death-defying mountain bikers and – in a documentary called “Dream Result” – kayakers navigating remote waterways across the globe.
“We’re wanderers and nomads in the sense of living in the moment the dream is always right now. In a time of the history of the planet where the world’s populated to almost bursting we get to go to places where no man has ever stood before.”
The one-night-only Banff Mountain Film Festival begins at 6:30 Wednesday night. The San Gorgonio Wilderness Association is hosting the festival’s Inland stop.
