Get ready for another epic night of jaw-dropping adventure films at the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour in Collingwood!
Ready to be wildly inspired?Get off the beaten path—and maybe a little off your rocker—and join us for two nights of jaw-dropping, heart-thumping, soul-stirring adventure at the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour, coming to Collingwood Cineplex, annually in October.
We’re talking edge-of-your-seat stories. Remote mountain peaks. Cultures you’ve never met. Climbs you’ll never attempt (but will absolutely gasp through). From adrenaline-soaked action to quiet, powerful moments in the wild, the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour brings the best films from Banff’s legendary annual Mountain Film & Book Festival to screens across 40+ countries—including yours.
This isn’t just movie night. This is a standing ovation for the human spirit.
🎬 Different films each night! Come for one, come for both!
