Dedicated to filmmakers who spark awareness of mountain cultures, fragile environments, and the passion and perseverance of global explorers.
Featuring a diverse selection of the year's best outdoor films with topics ranging from rock climbing to eco-travel, community building in remote communities, to the preservation of our planet's most fragile ecosystems. Films at the Fernie Mountain Film Festival (FMFF) are stunning, informative and entertaining.
The two-night event typically includes over a dozen films, including feature films and a selection of the year's best short films highlighting outdoor activities, adventures, and mountain passions.
In 2025 the event moved to its new venue at Knox on 2nd. Films are screened on a large rear-projection screen that was purchased by the festival after several years of fundraising. The event attracts a large crowd of local and visitor outdoor and film enthusiasts and the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. Experience the spirit of Fernie at the FMFF.
