The MountainFilm Festival is founded on the power of geography to shape our view of the world. Mountains are a metaphor, a representation of wild and different places and people — and MountainFilm is an event that celebrates distinctive cultures and the landscapes they occupy. MountainFilm gathers some of the most extraordinary films from around the world to share and celebrate their real, and metaphorical, mountains.

MountainFilm is about a world where adventure is alive, history is important, and people are passionate about what they believe. It is about environmental integrity and a rich spirit of celebration. The films and ideas featured at MountainFilm produce new thoughts, even new insights, for those who view them.

Telluride MountainFilm on Tour returns to WaterColor November 3-4, 2006, on the big screen under the stars in the WaterColor amphitheater. Showtimes are 6-9 p.m. both nights, with a different program each night.
