September 1, 2009, Boulder, CO—The Fifth Annual Adventure Film Festival will be held in Boulder, November 12-14th, 2009. We’ll kick off the festival, presented by Patagonia, on Thursday, November 12 with an opening evening show at the Boulder Theater. The next two days and nights will feature adventure film-making workshops, photography exhibits, live music, and over 30 award winning films at the best venues in town.
After the Boulder Festival, Adventure Film will bring further exposure to these amazing films by taking them on road to cities around the US, and internationally to Chile, France, and South Africa.
Each year, over 200 entries are submitted from around the world. The top 30 films are hand-picked by the Adventure Film Selection Committee. These films feature exploration, surfing, climbing, biking, skiing, and more. Also included in the line up are films that tackle topics as broad as the environment, global awareness, and social issues, yet always maintain a distinct theme of adventure.
There will also be an Adventure Filmmaking Workshop, designed to inspire the audience to make outdoor films of their own. Top outdoor filmmakers will lead discussions on equipment and techniques.
This year’s festival is especially significant as we continue to pay tribute to Jonny Copp, one of Adventure Film’s visionaries who died in an avalanche while climbing in China this spring. Jonny’s passing reminds us all of the spirit of Adventure Film—belief in the power of the story, especially the narrative of adventure and awakening to change and challenge the world we live in. It is with this focus that Adventure Film goes on. Climb. Ride. Fly. Slide. Fight for your environment. Inspire. Go higher than you’ve ever dared to go.
WHERE
Boulder’s Adventure Film Festival takes place at the historic Boulder Theater, the B-side Lounge on 14th Street, and other select venues downtown.

lol a handful of of the observations folks enter make me laugh, in certain cases i ask myself whether they actually read the subject material and items before posting or whether or not they basically skim the title of the post and craft the first thought that drifts into their minds. in either case, it is really pleasant to browse clever commentary from time to time instead of the identical, traditional oppinion vomit that i continually discover on the internet i’m going to play a few rounds of facebook poker have a pleasant day
Fascinating! But you ought to look at your comment queue more often. You appear to be getting hit some dodgy comments. I had a similar problem myself. So now I look at everything as carefully as I can.
