31st Annual Festival of Mountain, Adventure, Environmental & Cultural Films
Currently in its 31st year, the Mountainfilm Festival is a four-day, six-senses experience of art, adventure, culture and the environment. It attracts filmmakers, photographers, conservationists, mountaineers and explorers from around the world. Our audiences also come from around the world to gather in theaters that range from historical to state-of-the-art in the box canyon of Telluride, Colorado and the gondola-linked town of Mountain Village.
Our motto is, “Celebrating Indomitable Spirit.”
The spirit we celebrate may be of a vital eco-system or a fragile one. It may be of an endangered culture or of one courageous soul. It may be of a grassroots sustainability movement or of the struggle of a species on the brink of extinction. In whichever case, it is always a spirit that is unique, important and eminently laudable.
Our mission statement is "Dedicated to educating and inspiring audiences about issues that matter, cultures worth exploring, environments worth preserving and conversations worth sustaining.”
We fulfill our mission with passion and joy over four days every Memorial Day weekend against the backdrop of the sky-piercing peaks of the San Juan Mountains. The festival has become the favored rendezvous for an international coterie of caring and concerned artists, activists, adventurers and advocates, the majority of whom are at the leading edge of their fields. Many of the 2,000 people that the festival attracts annually return year after year and are unhesitant in naming the festival as one of the most moving and important events in their lives.
Each year, a central theme inspires MOUNTAINFILM. In 2009, the Moving Mountains Symposium will focus on FOOD.
