The 31st annual Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado, will take place on May 22-25. What began as an event for mountain climbers to watch movies about mountains has since evolved into a four-day tour de force of documentaries, gallery exhibits, and high-profile lectures evaluating some of society’s most pressing issues, from world water and energy issues to access to food. And if testimonies from last year’s festival-goers are any indication, Mountainfilm is sure to inspire once again. Watch the video below to see the festival for yourself.
