Mountainfilm is co-presented by the Gorton Center and Lake Forest Open Lands and sponsored by Butler Family Foundation and The Community Church of Lake Forest and Lake Bluff.

The Mountainfilm: Adventure Shorts program provides an eclectic  mix of stories about appreciating the natural world and competing in extreme sport. Like any great adventure, the program has its share of grueling climbs and breathtaking descents, as well as more contemplative moments that focus on the beauty of the wild.  It’s a program that’s sure to bring out the nature lover and thrill seeker in all of us.

Mountainfilm on Tour is coming to Lake Forest on January 28 and 29, 2022!

This annual film festival brings a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed, and inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm Festival held every Memorial Day weekend in Telluride, Colorado.

The films explore themes connected to Mountainfilm’s mission using the power of film and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world. There will be multiple film experiences over the two-day event including a Friday evening feature film, After Antarctica, Saturday showings of Adventure Shorts and Family-Friendly Shorts and the popular Saturday evening Mountainfilm Medley of documentary films.

Individual film tickets and packages for all Mountainfilm festival showings at Gorton Center are available for purchase.
