At the intersection of community, human-powered recreation, and snow comes the Backcountry Film Festival. Created in 2004 to highlight Winter Wildlands Alliance’s efforts to preserve and promote winter landscapes for human-powered users, the film festival is the common ground where similar interests and diverse skillsets meet. The Backcountry Film Festival is renowned for its collaboration with filmmakers from all corners of the globe, ranging grassroots to professional.  The festival provides a fresh lineup committed to get you awakened to the powder turns as well as environmental initiatives happening all around the world.
