Banff Centre is a Canadian leader in arts and culture, and their massive annual film festival in the Canadian Rockies focuses on outdoor recreation and environmental sustainability. Well this year they’re taking a portion of the show on the road, and Stout is one of the stops. The Radical Reels Film Festival includes nine short, high-energy films that are part of the festival. These films showcase mountain climbers, bicyclists, skiers, snowboaders, jumpers, and adrenaline-fueled madness. With its popularity, the Reels have gone on tour across the country and into Canada. There are so many submissions from extreme sports enthusiasts that Radical Reels earned its own nighttime time slot at the Banff Film Festival in order to show all the amazing entries. The nine films on this year’s tour range from skateboarders and cross-country snowboaders to kayak paddlers and mountain bikers.
