2024 Banff Mountain Film Festival Grande Prairie stop adds matinee screening

The 2024 Banff Mountain Film Festival is coming to Grande Prairie from January 12th to 14th. This is the second year in a row the event is returning to the Douglas J Cardinal Performing Arts Centre at Northwestern Polytechnic during its traditional time, following two years of rescheduling.

Over the three days, six or seven of the 37 films picked from the big festival will be shown ranging anywhere from a couple of minutes to a 45-minute feature film; with a different lineup for each screening. Along with the traditional 7 p.m. screenings on Friday, January 12th and Saturday, January 13th, this year there is also a 2 p.m. matinee showing on Sunday, January 14th.

The annual event is a major fundraiser for year-round operations and programs the Wapiti Nordic Ski Club offers. Tickets range in price from $28 to $74.50 for all three shows. More information can be found on the Wapiti Nordic Ski Club website.
