Gripped is at the 2014 Banff Mountain Film Festival

The world’s best mountain films, books, and speakers take the spotlight for nine days each fall in Banff. Experience the adventure of climbing, mountain expeditions, remote cultures, and the world’s last great wild places – all brought to life at The Banff Centre.

Gripped will be at the festival, located in the Laszlo Funtek Studio 224, which is part of the Margaret Greenham Theatre and can be reached from the Eric Harvie Theatre, see the map below.

Gripped editor Brandon Pullan will be interviewing David Lama, Ed Douglas, Steve Swenson, Hazel Findlay, Cedar Wright, Jeff Lowe and many others on Basecamp Radio and for Gripped Magazine. If you have any questions, message Pullan on Gripped’s Facebook.

Starting Sunday, Nov. 2: Basecamp Radio (Gripped’s Brandon Pullan interviewing climbers from around the world) will be on three times a day during the Banff Film Festival. Be sure to tune in here at 5 a.m., 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.

From November first to ninth, 2014, The Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival will be taking place in Banff. Theatres and venues are filled to the brim with locals (who eagerly anticipate these nine-days every year), with international visitors (who have dreamed about coming to the Festival in Banff for the first time,) and of course with world-renowned authors, filmmakers, conservationists, adventurers, and explorers from around the world.
