About Mountainfilm
The MountainFilm Festival is founded on the power of geography to shape our view of the world. Mountains are a metaphor, a representation of wild and different places and people — and MountainFilm is an event that celebrates distinctive cultures and the landscapes they occupy. It gathers some of the most extraordinary films from around the world.


This year, a portion of the Mountain Film Tour proceeds will benefit the South Walton Community Council (SWCC). The South Walton Community Council serves To preserve, protect and enhance the quality of life and the natural environment of South Walton County, Florida.

Last night was wonderful- even with the rain! We hunkered down and watched one great film after another. I don't remember all the names, but I LOVED the Drexel NC barbershop movie, also the guy skiing in 1/2 inch powder.

Hey JohnR- is the hippo movie by the same people that did the Fig Wasp last year?

Tonight will be amazing - Red Gold is not to be missed. Dylan and Sarah, 2 Alaskans in the film, are here with their beautiful 20 month old son. I was lucky enough to meet them last night- great people! They will be at Mtn. Film tonight, so be sure and give them a warm welcome!:clap:

Tonight will also be cold - winter coats, sleeping bags, wool blankies are definitely the way to go!

I wisely did not wear mascara tonight- I very predictably got all weepy duringRed Gold. Dylan, Sarah, and baby Finn were the perfect ambassadors for Bristol Bay Alaska. We wish they could stay a few days longer and take a little break!

The elephant film was wonderful.:clap:

Mountain Film seems to get better every year.

It might. Or maybe your mind is expanding.

Thanks to everyone at MountainFilm (especially our John R)! This event is truly one of the best things that happens along 30A and it's a time to give a shout out to WC and St. Joe for the partnership that allows us all to sit out under the stars in the beauty of Marina Park!

Sunday after MF always feels a bit like the day after Christmas. But, once again I have been inspired to do further reasearch on some topics that touched my heart.
This year, it was the beautiful elephant. http://www.mountainfilm.org/festival/2008/schedule/films/losing_the_elephants/index.html

Does anyone know what the website was for learning more about this effort?

Bravo MountainFilm...see you next year! :clap:

I couldn't agree more, Kitty. Big thanks and gratitude to Telluride Mtn Film, the film makers, St Joe, WaterColor, John R, Jimmy, Justin, all of the key staff and crew, Monark (events planning), and volunteers.

We are so grateful to have Mtn Film on tour at WaterColor.

Wow.....What a great event the festival was --I have lived here 4 years and never attended until last night! Setting was great, saw lots of Sowallers (well, all the tree huggers anyway : ) this just shows you really how many different, varied, and funn things there are to do here on 30A. Mark my calender for next year!

And now I really "get" John R.'s sig. regarding No Pebble Mines-- very moving flick.

You are my hero. One day I will learn the powers of Google. ;-)

Embrace the Google. The Google should become an extension of you.
