Other activities include the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, the Banff Mountain Photography Competition, Banff Mountain and Wilderness Writing Program, Banff Adventure Photography Workshop and the Banff Adventure Filmmakers Workshop. The festival takes place on the campus of The Banff Centre: Canada’s creative leader in arts and culture.
