Since 1976, the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival has been an industry leader in the celebration of Mountain Culture through the promotion, understanding and appreciation of the world’s mountain places—creating opportunities for people to share and find inspiration in mountain experiences, ideas, and visions.

Powerful and evocative, Ceremony examines the disappearance of the ooligan fish in Bella Coola, revealing a buried history deeper than the Bella Coola River itself. For the Nuxalk Nation, the ooligan is more than a source of food — it is medicine, tradition, economy, and a living connection to generations of knowledge carried through land and water. As director Banchi Hanuse follows her community’s search for answers, the mystery of the vanishing fish becomes an exploration of cultural survival, environmental stewardship, and the enduring relationship between people and place.

In the idyllic English countryside lives a dairy farmer named Derek. One day his neighbour, also Derek, forsakes tradition and starts to turn his land over to wild nature, sparking a long-running feud. This film charts the two Derek's turbulent and often funny relationship — as tempers fray, wild animals escape, and the land is transformed.
It's a night not to be missed! A selection of the winning films will be screened.
Note: Films screened are not confirmed until the jury finalizes the award winners on November 8, and the films will be announced at the beginning of the program. The awards presentation occurs in the Jenny Belzberg Theatre only.
