Backcountry Film Festival set to be streamed

Press release

The Winter Wildlands Alliance Backcountry Film Festival is back for its 16th year, but this winter it looks a little different.

Instead of a night out at the silver screen, the outdoors film festival is going virtual — allowing viewers to stream films from their own home. 

The film lineup is packed full of stellar films this year, featuring athletic pursuits in the mountains, gorgeous cinematography, stories of how the snowsports community is adapting to a warming climate, and more.

A portion of proceeds from the screening will benefit Montana Wilderness Association’s seven local chapters. Viewers can ensure their proceeds go to MWA’s chapters by streaming the films anytime between Jan. 28 and Feb. 18.

Spanning the entire state, MWA’s chapters provide opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to unite around and advocate for public lands. Tickets can be purchased at http://wildmontana.org/bcff . Proceeds will directly support chapter projects and initiatives. 

Tickets are $10 per individual and $20 per household or group. Instructions on how to stream the films will be sent via email after registration.

Ticket-holders have seven days from pressing play on their first film to finish streaming the films that will be made available between Jan. 28 and Feb. 18. The full lineup of films can be found on Winter Wildlands Alliance’s website at https://winterwildlands.org/bcff-2020-21-film-line-up .
