A Fundraiser for The Environmental Center
Two nights of culturally rich, adventure-packed and inspiring documentary films curated from the
Mountainfilm festival held every year in Telluride, Colorado. The tour will soon visit Bend at the Tower Theatre
on February 23-24 with films that explore themes connected to Mountainfilm’s mission: using the power of film,
art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world. Each night will feature different films!
Proceeds from the event will benefit The Environmental Center, a local non-profit organization that works
to embed sustainability into daily life in Central Oregon. The Environmental Center helps people live, work,
play and learn in ways that will ensure a healthy future for people and the planet.
“Mountanfilm always reminds me why I love being outside, connecting with nature, learning life lessons, and
having fun with family and friends,” said Mike Riley, Executive Director of The Environmental Center. “The mix
of films about adventure, culture and environmental issues is a great fit for Bend. We’re thrilled to bring it back
for the 15th year!”
The event includes a raffle sponsored by Mountain Supply, Crow’s Feet Commons and other local businesses
with prizes that include a backcountry ski package. Raffle tickets will be sold in advance online, and each night
at the event.
