The movie \u2018Surfer Dan\u2019 is a beautifully shot, Camp4 Collective production that explores one man\u2019s unconditional love for surfing, no matter where that might take him.

The Friends of the Sawtooth Avalanche Center will present the annual Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour from Friday, Jan. 31, to Tuesday, Feb. 4, at the Argyros Performing Arts Center in Ketchum. This year, 26 films over three nights will feature films about mountain culture, travel, sport and human interest.<\/p>\n

As one of less than 10 cities worldwide, there will be a fourth night of films on Tuesday, which includes a collection of the previous three nights\u2019 lineup.<\/p>\n

Diversity and friendship is a theme this year. Stories of bonding across boundaries, canyons and hardships are represented in various films, including \u201cInto The Canyon\u201d with journalists Pete McBride and Kevin Fedarko, who traverse the 750-mile journey on foot through the entire length of the Grand Canyon.<\/p>\n

The animated film \u201cHors Piste\u201d shows two experienced mountain rescue workers ready for their new mission. Trevor, the ultimate recycler in the film \u201cCamel Finds Water,\u201d finds an abandoned fishing boat and brings it back to life for an adventure on a voyage to British Columbia, to find remote surfing waves.<\/p>\n

A people-pleaser of a film,\u201cDanny\u2019s Daycare\u201d is by biking filmmaker Danny Macaskill, who helps with some child care the only way he knows how\u2014by taking his charge for a wee bike ride around Scotland. Big smiles.<\/p>\n

Not all the movies are strictly about sports and recreation. For instance, in \u201cThe Imaginary Line,\u201d a team from Mexico and the United States comes together to find not just a middle ground, but to dissolve it by crossing the Rio Grande suspended on a highline, in an act of political solidarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are in the middle of nowhere,\u201d a Mexican team member says. \u201cIn front of us is the United States and we\u2019re in Mexico. And we are going to connect our two countries by rope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watching the team achieve their goal is nothing short of inspirational.<\/p>\n

In Peruvian culture, Julio Hancco is a guardian of biodiversity, critical to the survival of humanity, especially from his aerie village 14,600 feet above sea level in the Andes Mountains. The film \u201cOpening the Earth: The Potato King\u201d celebrates the indigenous cultures of the stunning Andes Mountains, and what they can teach us in today\u2019s modern society. It was made by Eric Ebner, and Aaron Ebner, a co-founder and executive director of The Andean Alliance for Sustainable Development.<\/p>\n

The Banff Mountain Film Festival began in 1976 and is held annually in Banff, Alberta, Canada. In 1986, the Banff Mountain Film Festival began an outreach program to bring the festival to other communities, touring to a total of three cities across Canada. As previous attendees know, the World Tour provides a first class film experience, in a local venue for those who cannot make the annual trek to the Canadian Rockies that now tours to hundreds of cities worldwide. This year marks the 20th year that the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour has screened the films in Ketchum.<\/p>\n

Doors open at The Argyros each night at 6 p.m., with films starting at 7 p.m. As in the past, a portion of the proceeds from the event will go to support the Friends of the Sawtooth Avalanche Center.<\/p>\n
