Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival 2019

Every year, the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival (VIMFF) gathers the finest in mountain-related filmmaking from across the globe.

The films focus on outdoor adventure, mountaineering, the environment, and mountain cultures. The best of this inspiring collection then tours internationally — and it’s coming to South Africa this July, showing at various locations through to the end of October.

This year, VIMFF will be screening two distinct programmes: the Enviro-Culture Programme and the Adventure Programme.

Adventure

The VIMFF Adventure Programme features a selection of films centred around mountain adventure — including rock climbing, trail running, alpinism, mountain biking, white water paddling, and extreme skiing.

Enviro-Culture

The VIMFF Enviro-Culture Programme focuses on issues of environmental conservation and appreciation of diverse cultures from around the world.

Some of the key themes include:

• River conservation and the anti-dam movement in the Balkans
• Patagonia – photography as a career and conservation tool
• Global warming and responsible development
• Responsible mountain use and the impact of social media
