The Caltech Alpine Club is once again hosting the Banff Mountain Film Festival. It's at Ramo Auditorium on the Caltech campus in Pasadena. The show starts at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, March 25th. Tickets are $12 and we usually sell out a few days before the event. Tickets are purchased through the Caltech Public Events site (see links below) and can be mailed or picked up via will call.
For those of you not familiar with the film festival, it is about 2 to 2.5 hours worth of short films (ranging in length from 5 minutes to 45 minutes), all on an outdoor theme (usually some type of documentary). Subjects include cultural pieces, trekking, mountaineering, rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, sky-diving/hang-gliding/para-gliding, BASE jumping, etc. See links below for more info.
