The annual Backcountry Film Festival (BCFF) presented by Winter Wildlands Alliance (and Friends of the Earth in Victoria), celebrates stories of outdoor stewardship, grassroots policy and advocacy work, backcountry adventure, and snow cinema by human-powered advocates, athletes, activists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
This year the Victorian festival will be held online and screened globally from December 3 to 13 showcasing 14 films over two hours. Simply purchase a ticket and then watch it at your own pace, or as many times as you like, between these dates.
Every winter, BCFF tours 100+ cities and is hosted by local retailers, grassroots groups, outdoor affinity groups, and many more community organisations. Funds raised stay in the local community to support human-powered recreation and conservation efforts, winter education and avalanche/safety programs and to raise awareness of winter management issues.
Tickets are $8 concession and student, and $15 waged and can be purchased online.
