Banff Mountain Film Festival Radical Reels Tour
September 26
National Geographic and MSR Gear present what has to drip more adrenaline than any film gathering, and Santa Cruz’s Rio Theatre provides a superb venue to soak it all up. And there’s a lot to absorb: extreme mountain biking, absurd ski stunts, clever filmmaking, insane kayaking, high-elevation slack lining and other truly death-defying endeavors that multiply from there. For outdoor adventurers, it’s the #1 cinematic experience of the year.
