Mountainfilm on Tour Returns to Squamish, November 18th, 2023
Mountainfilm is an annual film festival held in Telluride Colorado that showcases stories of high adventure, and environmental and social justice issues. A selection of films then tours around the world, with grassroots events packed with engaged adventure lovers from Chamonix to Tokyo.
This year's Mountainfilm on Tour stop in Squamish will include a selection of short films, including local Sea to Sky filmmakers and athletes. Festival goers are invited to partake in delicious food and drinks. There will be a silent auction and door prizes with all funds raised going to support our local Squamish Search and Rescue team.
At nearly two and a half hours long, the matinee show will start at 3pm and the evening show starts at 7pm. The ticket price has been reduced this year to $30 for the matinee show and $40 for the evening show. Seats are limited so people are encouraged to get their tickets early to avoid disappointment. Tickets can be purchased in person from Urban Alpine in Garibaldi Village or Valhalla Pure in Squamish or online at Canada Helps.
