Mountainfilm on Tour visits London on Tuesday 24th September at the Royal Geographical Society London. Join us for an evening of inspiring and captivating films handpicked from the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado.
Founded in 1979, Mountainfilm is one of America’s longest-running film festivals. The annual festival is held every Memorial Day weekend in Telluride. Mountainfilm is a dynamic nonprofit organisation and festival that celebrates stories of indomitable spirit and aims to inspire audiences through film, art and ideas.
Mountainfilm on Tour in London will feature a collection of culturally rich, adventure-packed and engaging documentary short films that align with Mountainfilm’s mission to use the power of film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world. A Mountainfilm presenter, Ben Ayers, will as usual guide the audience through the program providing insight on the films, filmmakers and subjects. Ben Ayers is executive director of dZi Foundation and a National Geographic filmmaker in his own right.
