Columbia Falls Academic Foundation hosting outdoor film festival

The Columbia Falls Academic Foundation is hosting a nature and outdoor adventure film festival at the Columbia Falls High School auditorium on Friday, Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.  

Tickets are available at the door and online. All proceeds from this event go to the Columbia Falls Academic Foundation which has a mission to provide financial support to academic and arts programs at the high school. 

This year’s festival will feature nine films shot around the world, from Baffin Island to Flagstaff to Mongolia. They focus on adventure, wildlife, and beautiful scenery, including stories of Canadian sled dogs, birding in Brazil’s Pantanal region, wooden boat-building, and falconry. There’s also an animated short about a dad taking his baby son on a kayak day trip. The films are mostly shorts, ranging from 3 to 25 minutes long. There will be concessions, giveaways, and a silent auction.
