Banff Mountain Film Festival
Gracie Theater, Husson University, Bangor, ME
6:30 p.m.
I’ll be the emcee for the Banff Mountain Film Festival on Wednesday, Feb. 5, at the Gracie Theater in Bangor. And if you can’t make it that night, they’ll show a second batch of films the following evening as well! (However, I won’t be hosting it then.) “The Banff Film Festival is one of the largest and most prestigious mountain festivals in the world! Traveling to remote vistas, analyzing topical environmental issues, and bringing audiences up-close and personal with adrenaline-packed action sports.” -From the Gracie website
