The Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation (BMWF) is bringing Mountainfilm on Tour to Helena as part of their five-city tour circling the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex this March. Mountainfilm on Tour brings a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed and incredibly inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado.
BMWF’s tour will visit the Myrna Loy on Wednesday, March 11th. The evening will feature outdoor films from around the world that explore themes connected to Mountainfilm’s mission of inspiring audiences to create a better world. There will also be a bucket raffle filled with a variety of outdoor gear, adventure trips and local goods with tickets for sale in the lobby.
The Bob Marshall Wilderness Foundation (BMWF) has been hosting Mountainfilm on Tour since 2007 as a fundraiser for their hands-on stewardship projects in the 1.6-million-acre Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex. Each summer, BMWF hosts 40+ Volunteer Adventure trips that open trails and restore habitat while providing unique, low-cost opportunities for people to experience one of the most remote Wilderness areas in the lower-48.
“These films celebrate adventure, grit, and the power of wild places – things we’re lucky enough to witness every summer on our volunteer projects,” said Allison Siems, Operations Director for the foundation. “We hope they leave people inspired to get out there and give back to the wealth of public lands we enjoy in Montana, like the incredible Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex right in our backyard.”
The doors for the event open at 6 PM, and the films start at 7 PM. Tickets for Mountainfilm on Tour in Helena are on sale now at www.bmwf.org/mountainfilm. Tickets will also be available on the day of the event at the door, if not sold out. The cost of tickets is $20 in advance, and $25 at the door.
