Stories from the hills of Western Maine

Banff Film Festival World Tour
Last night Charlie and I went to Portland to see some of the films from the 2008 Banff Film Festival. The Banff Film Festival is held every October at the Banff Cultural Center and screens films on mountain culture from all over the world. Someday when I have disposable income and time to spare, I would love to attend--but until then--a February evening in the South Portland High School auditorium is the next best thing.

WOW!!! The film clips look great, Beth. I stand in awe of many extreme sports -- especially the flying suit ;)
Exhilarating, with spectacular scenary is all I can say. Was it a compiled clips of all the movies?
I see you read, "Here When You Need Me." I really enjoyed the book also. Any other books about Maine you can recommend?
What a great way to enjoy something you love. I know you had a good time and wished you were on the slopes. The scenery was breath taking, but it looked awfully cold. :}
I can imagine the scenery was simply stunning! So glad you all were able to go see it.
I enjoyed the video! (on the edge of my seat) Ahhh, living on the edge - fearing heights. Thanks for sharing, Beth.
