The 2022 Banff Virtual Film Festival is Now Online!

Do you like: outdoor adventure? Sports and activities that make your adrenaline surge? Short films? 

If so, you will enjoy watching the Banff Film Festival.  Tickets are available online for two exciting programs until October 24, 2022. 

The Friends of the Library will earn a percentage of ticket revenues through the URL linked above. Please choose individual programs for $15 each or the two-program bundle for $28. Each individual program has a 3-day rental period, and the bundle has a 14-day period.

We hope that you enjoy this Banff Film Festival experience online! Also, we are planning to host a two-night live screening on campus this fall. The film selections for the upcoming live event will be completely different from the films available online, so there is no overlap.

Carolyn Heath is an Earth Sciences Professor at Fullerton College. The intrepid crew voyaged to ports of call that included Mexico, Costa Rica, & Central America. They then chose a hard "left" from Panama to the Galapagos Islands. The adventure recommenced with their biggest crossing yet, 3000 miles, to the Marquesas Islands of French Polynesia. They will be continuing on later this year to Tonga, Fiji and beyond., hoping to get as far as the Indian Ocean in the next couple of years! Join us for this fascinating evening.
