Mountain Culture at Banff Centre offers exceptional programs and an inspirational setting for writers and filmmakers. Our residency programs provide the time, studio space, facilities, feedback, and engagement with peers and faculty to hone your artistic development.
Mountain Writers Intensive and Adventure Filmmakers take place during the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, where participants will have the opportunity to meet with fellow artists and industry insiders.
New this year are the Moonlighter Field Camps: four-day intensives — led by women filmmakers, for women filmmakers interested in building technical skills.
