Twenty-nine years ago, a group of climbers had the idea
of presenting a festival of mountain films in the climbing
mecca of Telluride, Colorado. Today, Mountainfilm in
Telluride is one of the world’s most prominent festivals
of films on mountain sports and conservation, and is
now sponsored in part by National Geographic. Join us
for this selection of films from this year’s festival:
