Banff Mountain Festival films in Nashville

I’ve decided to link this in with my friend Randy’s Watercooler Wednesday post. Check out the weekly roundtable on culture..

The films from the 2007 Banff Mountain Festival will be stopping in Nashville on Tuesday, March 25, 7pm at ~~the historic Belcourt Theater~~ Montgomery Bell Academy’s Pascall Theater. There are several other stops on the festival tour, so be sure to check out the schedule if you’re not in the Nashville area.

The Mountain Festival celebrates the mountain and outdoor adventure cultures through craft, book, and film festivals each fall in the Canadian Rockies town of Banff.

I attended the Nashville stop last year and I can honestly say it was WELL worth 4 hours of my time. I saw films on rock climbing, extreme mountain biking and kayaking, and touring Mongolia, Tibet, Nepal, China, and India by bike.

Put this on your calendar. Tickets are $10 at Blue Ridge Mountain Sports in Belle Meade after March 10 and are $12 at the door if there are any left.

UPDATE: Bryan goofed. Toby at the Belcourt pointed out that the festival will be at MBA’s Pascall Theater. Thanks to Toby! Support the Belcourt!

Bryan,

This sounds awesome! I hope I am in the country(USA) on this date. I’m not sure if I’ll be here, but if I am–I am there! I have heard absolutely nothing about this. I love Watercooler Wednesdays!! Thanks so much for joining us around the watercooler. Please come back next Wednesday and bring a friend.

This isn’t at the Belcourt this year. It’s at MBA.
