Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival (OMU)

In the organizer's words:

The best films of the year

How can we live and travel more sustainably? When do we need to take responsibility and when should we relinquish it?

The films of the Banff Tour 2025 provide new food for thought and show that it is sometimes more important to set limits for ourselves than to overstep them.

Farming Turns

For ten years, freeskier Chris Rubens lived his dream and flew halfway around the world in search of the best lines. But on a ski trip to Greenland, he realizes the effects of climate change for the first time. Rising temperatures, melting glaciers - where will all this lead?

Shaken up by what he saw for himself on site, the professional athlete questions his own lifestyle and makes a drastic decision: he wants to drastically reduce his carbon footprint. Travel less, eat less meat - and set up an organic farm, even though he doesn't actually know anything about farming.

A Team Sport

Courtney Dauwalter is the first ultrarunner to win three races of over 100 miles in one summer. But is this really the impressive achievement of one person?

A Team Sport shows just how much the ultrarunner depends on her team to achieve a podium finish in a race like the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc and introduces the people who make Courtney's extraordinary achievements possible.

Dropping Molly

Climber Molly Mitchell is not only looking for new challenges in her sport, but also for self-affirmation. The US-American is therefore particularly drawn to risky routes such as Crank It (5.13c) in Boulder Canyon (Colorado).

Molly is determined to climb Crank It in a trad climbing style - and deliberately does without the bolts that the route was equipped with for good reason. After a serious climbing accident, Molly wonders whether the sport is perhaps playing too dominant a role in her life. She tries to confront her inner conflicts in a different way.

Going East

A journey into the unknown, with countless hours on uncomfortable trains, but also unique experiences on new mountains - so far away and yet actually so close.

Max Kroneck, Joi Hoffmann, Silvia Moser and Loïc Isliker embark on a very special ski trip in Going East: the four freeriders want to explore the best ski runs in Eastern Europe - using only public transport. With a handful of train tickets, they set off in search of unknown terrain and local freeriders who can show them the best runs on the spot.

Anytime - Cali

California calling: Slopestyle king Emil Johansson performs breathtaking tricks in the dreamlike hilly landscape of California and is at the highest level both athletically and aesthetically.

It was important to the four-time slopestyle world champion not to present a typical contest run, but to give his creativity free rein. For him, it was the first solo shoot of an independent film segment - and therefore a very special experience.
