Banff Mountain Film Fest (in Mtl)

This is the first time I'd been to a set of films presented as part of the touring version of this film festival. From the 320 entries, 7 were chosen and shown in Montreal which ranged from a 54-minute film of a couples' 8000 km bike trek from Mongolia to India (Asiemut) to shorter films on mountain climbing and technologies helping the disabled reclaim their active lives. Most were quite interesting if only for making one realize how narrow-minded we can become in our daily routines. If you're looking for an escape from the frigid conditions this weekend, you might want to check this out.
