The Flathead-Kootenai Chapter of the Montana Wilderness Association will host the 13th annual Backcountry Film Festival in Whitefish on Tuesday, Feb. 6. With a lineup of eight award-winning short films, the event aims to inspire and educate the backcountry community.
The festival will take place at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and films start at 7:00 p.m. Pre-purchase tickets will be available for $10 at Rocky Mountain Outfitter in Kalispell, and Glacier Cyclery and The White Room in Whitefish. Tickets purchased at the door will cost $15. A free raffle entry comes with a ticket purchase. The event is likely to sell out, so filmgoers are advised to purchase tickets early.
