Did you know?

  • There will be approximately 530 screenings of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour this year.
  • Of the 530 screenings, over 300 are held in North America, 190 internationally, and approximately 35 are Radical Reels screenings.
  • The international tour includes approximately 70 screenings throughout Europe, 35 in Africa (all located in South Africa), 32 in Oceania (Australia and New Zealand), 25 in Latin America, 22 in Asia, and 2 in Antarctica.
  • Yes, that’s right, Antarctica! For the past few years we’ve had screenings at McMurdo Station and at The South Pole!
  • And, who attends the South Pole Screening? Mostly scientists and researchers who are members of the United States Antarctic Program.
  • So…that makes Antarctica the host of the most southerly screenings while Reykjavik, Iceland hosts the most northerly screenings.
  • Our largest international World Tour audience is 1000 people in Dunedin, New Zealand, followed by 730 people in Goteborg, Sweden.
  • Our first Radical Reels tour screening internationally will be in Germany later this year.
