Mountainfilm on Tour is an extension of the Mountainfilm Festival, a four-day event held each Memorial Day weekend in Telluride, Colo. It is part film festival, part ideas summit and part jamboree. For 35 years, Mountainfilm has attracted leading independent documentary filmmakers, artists and photographers, conservationists, mountaineers, scientists, journalists and explorers from around the world to engage in the festival's motto of "Celebrating Indomitable Spirit."
Each year, Mountainfilm on Tour takes a selection of outstanding films from the Telluride festival on the road to engage audiences who otherwise would not have an opportunity to experience them. Year-round and worldwide, the tour reaches some 30,000 people on five continents.
At VLS, Mountainfilm presenter Colin Sullivan will introduce the films promptly at 6:30 p.m. and host engaging dialogue with the audience following the films.
Tickets, $8 for adults and $5 for students or children, can be purchased online at mountainfilmontourvls.eventbrite.com or at the door. The complete playlist is available at www.mountainfilm.org/tour/upcoming. For more information, email Taylor L. Curtis '15 at taylorcurtis@vermontlaw.edu.
