Come check out the Speaker Series back at Red Mountain this year featuring the Perspectives Film and Speaker Tour hosted by Nat Segal.
An annual film night founded in Revelstoke, BC, where we gather members of our mountain communities to kick off the winter season and connect through thought-provoking mountain films. Through storytelling from alternative perspectives we hope to encourage and promote inclusive mountain culture in our communities. This fall we are excited to share several films from local filmmakers and athletes as well as a few special short films from other mountain towns. This year we have curated several films to share as film tour to further share these stories in Canada and beyond.
Guests: Nat Segal, Jules Howatt, Colleen Gentleman, Rachel Reimer, Ellen Bradley
