Mountainfilm in Telluride

About

Mountainfilm is America’s premier festival celebrating achievement in adventure and activism, culture and environment. We accept and screen feature and short films — mostly doc but some narrative — on a broad range of subjects. Of course, we are always interested in work that focuses on mountains, mountain culture and mountaineering but are also partial to films about people who are dedicated to changing the world.

Awards

Mountainfilm honors filmmakers and film subjects alike, awarding cash prizes that are announced at the Closing Picnic.
