Have you ever wondered what it would be like to leap from a tall building, confront your personal ghosts on a Himalayan peak or not let the fact that you were born with no legs prevent you from becoming a champion ski racer? You can get a taste of these wild mountain adventures, and more, when this year’s Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour rolls into Huntsville on Thursday, January 23, 2003. Showtime is at 7 pm at the Delta Grandview Resort’s Recreation Centre.

  For the last five years, Algonquin Outfitters has hosted this spectacular showing of mountain films in Huntsville. After moving the event to Grandview last year, the capacity crowd set a new attendance record. Grandview’s “Rec Center” has been the setting for many Huntsville Festival of the Arts concerts and offers comfortable seating, easy access, excellent sound and a big screen.

  Films in this year's tour bring the spirit of adventure to life on the screen. A wide variety of stories - from mountain sports, mountain culture and the environment - will entice and inspire viewers. Get a taste of mountain adventure from around the world; the tour's lineup includes films from Canada, the United States, Poland, Norway, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia.

  The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour is produced by Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre. The tour includes award-winning films from the Banff Mountain Film Festival, an annual event held in early November at The Banff Centre in Banff, Alberta. This year 263 entries from 31 countries were in competition.

  The world tour spans the globe, making its way to North and South America, Europe, South Africa, India, Poland and Iceland.  Experience the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour with Algonquin Outfitters at the Delta Grandview Resort on January 23, 2003 at 7 pm.

  Advance tickets are available at Algonquin Outfitters in Huntsville and Oxtongue Lake and at the Grandview Resort front desk. For more information, call Algonquin Outfitters at 705-635-2243.
