MISSION
The Calgary Mountain Film Festival has spawned from a decade of hosting movies and speakers to Calgary's outdoor enthusiasts. Over this time we have noticed that our events have become a hub, a meeting place for the mountain community to gather and share their experiences. Like the old school slideshows hosted at a friends house our community thrives on the opportunity to share and reminisce... an opportunity to dream about future trips and get excited about doing them together. Our mission is to provide that space and time for the mountain community to come together... to be the hub for our local community.
