October 4 Banff Mountain Film Festival Radical Reels Tour

Banff Mountain Film Festival Radical Reels Tour 

Roseman University
Location: Clark County Library

Time: 7pm-9pm

Price: FREE

 

Every year the Banff Mountain Film Festival put together and present the wildly popular Radical Reels night - a presentation of the best high-adrenaline films entered into their competition. Inspired by the excitement of the Festival event, the Radical Reels Tour has been traveling with a selection of the hottest action sports films since 2004. These clips highlight the very best of outdoor action sports and the true potential that we have to push limits. The tour visits more than 50 locations across the US and Canada - from Sitka to Vegas, Atlanta to Toronto, and dozens of happening towns in between. The screening is made up of short, action-packed climbing, paddling, mountain biking, BASE jumping, skiing, snowboarding, and other adrenaline sport films. They always keep an eye out for films that feature a fresh approach, a new sport, and a radically independent spirit. And due to the tours, now you don't have to journey to Banff each fall to see these exciting films!
