Backcountry Film Festival & Soup Feed

The 21st Annual Backcountry Film Festival (BCFF) returns to The Matthews, bringing a celebration of human-powered adventure, winter storytelling, and public lands advocacy to the local community.

Hosted by Chinook Days and the Matthews, in partnership with Winter Wildlands Alliance, the national nonprofit dedicated to protecting America’s wild snowscapes. The Backcountry Film Festival is part of a 100+ city international tour celebrating the spirit of human-powered adventure, through stories that connect us to wild places, to each other, and to the movement to keep winter wild.

This year’s screening will feature more than just films; at 5pm there will be a selection of mouthwatering soups from Killians, Antunes, Nonnas, Farmhouse.

At 6pm, the lights go down and the new Backcountry Film Festival lineup takes the stage, a curated collection of films that celebrate winter adventure and the fight to protect the places we love.

“Every Backcountry Film Festival event is a chance for our community to come together, celebrate the stoke of the season, and support local!

This screening is one stop on BCFF’s global tour, which supports grassroots conservation organizations across the world. Proceeds benefit programs such as SnowSchool, human-powered recreation and conservation efforts, and avalanche/safety education.
