Forest Society of Maine will be at the BANFF Mountain Film Festival! Join us on February 4-5 at the Gracie Theatre in Bangor. We’ll be there when the doors open at 6 PM, until the film begins at 6:30 PM, and we’ll be around for intermission! Tickets are available at the Gracie Theatre website, and there will be different films each night.

We’ll be there sharing information about FSM’s work and current projects, as well as a few activities you can complete there and take home. Find us in the lobby to learn more about what we do, ask questions, and find out how you can help!

The BANFF Mountain Film Festival brings epic adventures to the big screen while analyzing topical environmental issues, bringing the audience a close up-view of adrenaline inducing sports. You won’t want to miss this artful exploration of the mountain world.
