Chilly temperatures may be on the horizon for Vancouver and beyond, but that just means it’s the perfect time to bundle up for fall and winter adventures.
Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival is helping to motivate outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels with its epic fall series, which will take place from November 12 to 20 across three cities.
The in-person screenings and events at Squamish’s Howe Sound Brewing, North Vancouver’s Centennial Theatre and Vancouver’s Rio Theatre feature a thrilling lineup of films celebrating skiing, climbing, mountain biking, and more.
Guests will also hear from inspiring guest speakers and thought-provoking filmmakers from around the world.
“As the festival programmer, I couldn’t be more excited about this year’s VIMFF 2024 Fall Series,” said Ivan Hughes, VIMFF programming director, to Daily Hive. “We’ve curated an incredible selection of outdoor films that dive into thrilling adventures, showcase diverse cultures from around the globe, and promote values that inspire active, meaningful lives.
“These aren’t just films to watch — they’re stories that will have you on the edge of your seat and spark your imagination for your next mountain adventure. Our hope is that they’ll not only leave you breathless but also offer new perspectives and lessons along the way.”
