About the film festival:
The renowned BANFF Mountain Film Festival is a prestigious, traveling showcase of the best mountain films from the annual November festival in Canada. Reaching over 550 communities across 40+ countries, it features short films on mountain culture, extreme sports, remote landscapes, and environmental adventures.
About Nevada Land Trust:
Established in 1998, the Nevada Land Trust is a private, non-profit land trust dedicated to preserving and protecting Nevada’s open spaces and special places for future generations. As the state’s first “Nevada Born” land trust, they have protected over 70,000 acres to date through acquisition, facilitation, restoration, and partnership. The Banff Mountain Film Festival is the Nevada Land Trust’s largest annual fundraiser.
Notes on buying tickets:
When you click to purchase, you will be directed to our new sales platform, Give Butter. This is the ONLY way to purchase individual and VIP tickets for the Reno BANFF festival.
Give Butter charges a nominal $1.13 processing fee per ticket. This is a huge savings from previous ticketing options that charged much higher fees, enabling NLT to earn more from this event. And while you can contact us for table sales, you can also purchase directly on Give Butter. At the end of checkout, you will be given an option to leave a “tip.” This is fully optional, and you can zero out the suggested amount if you do not wish to leave a tip.
Tickets on sale early March 2026
