“Undoubtedly,
there are other festivals more prompt, more professional, and better dressed. But these qualities have never figured
as the hallmarks of climbers—and the day
they do, I’ll want nothing more to do with climbing. The intimacy, spontaneity and
innocence of Mountainfilm may be
one of the last great instances of mountain
spirit around."

The Weekend is packed with fabulous events
Mountainfilm is as much a conversation as a film festival. Here’s a bunch of opportunities to carry on the conversation.
Gallery Walk
Friday, May 22 | 3:30 - 6:30 p.m.
Multiple locations around the town of Telluride
The official partying gets underway with a round of receptions at 12 different galleries around town. The art is outstanding, and the drinks and hors d’oeuvres are free. If you get waylaid by old friends, or mesmerized by the art, and can’t make the whole circuit, don’t despair—the exhibitions of paintings, drawings, and photography will all be open throughout the weekend.
Breakfast Talks
Saturday, May 23 | 8:00 - 9:30 a.m.
Sunday, May 24 | 8:00 - 9:30 a.m.
Monday, May 25 | 8:00 - 9:30 a.m.
Multiple locations around the town of Telluride
Five locations over three mornings mean fifteen chances for coffee and muffins with the Minds of Mountainfim, either continuing the conversation from their earlier presentations or exploring a whole new project or topic.
Ice Cream Social
Saturday, May 23 | 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Main Street between Oak and Fir
We empty all the theaters and close Colorado Avenue down to give everyone a chance to enjoy the daylight, each other and free ice cream.
Reading Frenzy
Sunday, May 24 | 3:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Ah Haa School
A selection of authors will be on hand to sign books during this well-liked event.
Closing Awards Picnic
Monday, May 25 | 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Telluride Town Park
Enjoy the delicious complimentary organic lunch served in Telluride Town Park. Unless we’ve already drained the reserves, there’ll also be free beer from new Belgium Brewing and wine from Redwood Creek.
The Next Step
Sheridan Opera House Gallery
Mountainfilm is pleased to respond when audience members ask "What can I do?" To that end, we encourage a visit to this NGO / Non-Profit / Green For-Profit Expo
where representatives will feed your mind with specific information from an array of organizations.
