Some of the top short films from the most recent Banff Mountain Film Festival will be on display in Dauphin tonight.

The Countryfest Cinema is a stop on this world tour, with the final showing of these films set for tonight (Thursday) beginning at 7 pm. 

"We will screen a number of short films that were selected from the Banff Film Festival.  This is an annual festival where filmmakers from all over the world create wonderful shorts about truly adventurous experiences that they put themselves through or passions.  And it is crazy passions such as cave diving and wanting to do kite surfing at five-thousand metres of altitude in Peru."

Phillippe says this fun, interactive evening is a unique event.

 "There is a cinema in Winnipeg that shows the Banff Film Festival, and then there is us here in Dauphin.  So it is a privilege to have this come to us.  And Banff has really invested in spreading these messages because some of these films also hold a greater meaning, than just the adventure.  And what they do is they send prize tickets or vouchers for pirzes that you can claim on their website.  So there will also be giveaways during  the intermissions." 

Tickets are just $30 and are available at the door.
