The Banff Mountain Film Festival (held annually in Banff, Alberta Canada from late October into early November) accepts over three hundred mountain films into it's competition, the top fifty or so are screened throughout the festival. Every year the films feature a range of styles and themes, including climbing, skiing, kayaking, biking, adventure, culture and the environment. So many action films were being submitted to the film festival that they could not fit into the regular screenings, resulting in the creation (in 2004) of the hugely successful Radical Reels evening presentation.
The Radical Reels Tour (website: banffcentre.ca/mountainculture/tour/radicalreels) – travels each Spring – specifically featuring the dynamic, high-adrenalin films from the festival and complements the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour that travels in November. The focus is on sports such as skiing, climbing, kayaking, BASE jumping, snowboarding and mountain biking. Now you don't have to journey to Banff each fall to see these exciting films!
The Radical Reels Tour contains no duplicate films from the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour held in November. Radical Reels contains high-adrenaline short films from all outdoor sports. Not to be confused with the Reel Paddling Film Festival, which contains paddling films only.
Prizes are awarded in eight categories: Grand Prize, Climbing, Mountain Sports, Mountain Environment, Mountain Culture, Short Mountain Film, and Feature-Length Mountain Film, and People's Choice. The international jury will announce the Best of the Festival award winners at the awards ceremony on Sunday, November 9th.
