The festival is one of about fifty mountain and adventure films across the world, and aims to provide an alternative cinematic experience that inspires, educates, fosters creative connections, and enriches the quality of life for Flagstaff citizens and visitors to Northern Arizona through the art of filmmaking and the stories of documentary films.

The host city of Flagstaff — just one hour south of the Grand Canyon and two hours north of Phoenix is a thriving university town with over 65,000 recreationally and culturally minded residents. The majesty of the San Francisco Peaks, the ecological diversity of the Colorado Plateau, and the proximity of the Hopi and Navajo Nations provide for an ideal setting to celebrate documentary film. For the past 21 years, outdoor and film enthusiasts from across the state, region and world have enjoyed a high-quality film experience while soaking up the breathtaking beauty of Northern Arizona.

Join us for four days of film premieres, filmmaker panels, book releases, author talks, a community run/walk, VIP events, community parties celebrating our array of nonprofits and more.
