2025 Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival Trailer

Banff Centre Mountain Book and Film Festival 2025 Creative Excellence winner!

The father feels overwhelmed by all of the threats to forever and calls an unlikely hero – Mark Ruffalo – to ask for help seeing the big picture.

A Little Story About Forever

Banff Centre Mountain Book and Film Festival 2025 Best Film – Snow Sports winner! Some people make a living from their craft. Others can’t live without it. In a 16th century mill in the Chamonix valley, Peter and Anati run Le Moulin des Artistes: a ski workshop, art space, and gathering place for like-minded free spirits. Le Moulin des Artistes shows us how creative expression can bring purpose, build lasting community, and even help overcome disaster. This film is presented with on-screen subtitles.

Le Moulin des Artistes - A Home for Free Spirits

Banff Centre Mountain Book and Film Festival 2025 Best Short Film winner! Throughout their respective histories, both horse and Indigenous people have been corralled.
