High Point Theatre to present showcase of exciting, diverse,
and informative documentary films
High Point, NC
– Mountainfilm on Tour brings inspiration and education
about important issues to audiences around the world. The tour will make a stop
in High Point at the High Point Theatre, Thursday, October 8, with documentary
films that will explore the themes connected to Telluride Mountainfilm’s
mission of exploring cultures, preserving environments and promoting adventure.
Established in
1979, Mountainfilm is dedicated to educating, inspiring and motivating
audiences about environments, cultures, issues and adventures. Working at the
nexus of filmmaking and action, its flagship event is the renowned Telluride Mountainfilm festival, a four-day event held each Memorial
Day weekend in Telluride, Colorado. The festival has attracted leading
documentary filmmakers, artists, photographers, conservationists, mountaineers,
scientists, journalists and explorers from around the world to engage in the
festival’s tag line of “celebrating indomitable spirit.”
Mountainfilm
on Tour shares a selection of the films from the annual festival with audiences
around the globe and offers Mountainfilm for Students, a free educational
outreach initiative for K-12 schools at tour locations. Year-round and
worldwide, the tour reaches over 40,000 people on five continents.
The show
begins promptly at 7:00 PM. Mountainfilm presenter, Cara Bunch, will introduce
the films and engage the audience in discussion following the films. To learn

“I hope you enjoy the selection of
outstanding films being presented during Mountainfilm on Tour,” says High Point
Theatre Director David Briggs. “Whether witnessing the thrilling, connective
experience of a Father and Son as they set out on a 28-day white-water-rafting journey
down the Colorado River, Grand Canyon, in the film “The Important Places”; or cheering
on a group of competitive young girls who have no fear when taking on the boys at
skateboarding in “Gnarly in Pink,” you are in for an exceptional entertainment
experience!”
