Banff

Every year I get excited to attend the Banff Film Festival (BFF) that comes to Kingsbury Hall. Last year I went all 3 nights, this year only 2. The price of the tickets went up and life is busy busy right now.
This is a selection of one of my favorite films from Tuesday night. The music in the film was most excellent, the views of the Russian rivers were amazing, and the humor of the fishermen was better than a knee slap.

Eastern Rises - Mountainfilm World Premiere from Mountainfilm in Telluride on Vimeo.

Eastern Rises: Ben Knight's cynical, snarky narration pulls you along on this humorous and intriguing tale of fishing Far East Russia. The cinematography is superb, the storytelling excellent, and the angling aspirational. Felt Soul may have made better film festival-ey movies, but they've never produced a better flyfishing movie." – Tom Bie, The Drake

I'm going again on Thursday. I look forward to more greatness and entertainment. If not the films...people watching at the BFF.
