 Very interesting films and the vendors were wonderful

 excellent films

 No problem ordering tickets.

 easy to purchase

 wish there was an accessible program for all days like there were at other tour stops

 Loved it.

 Perfect

 I didn't SEE the ticket till I scrolled way down past all that disclosure stuff, which was rather intimidating. I can't say exactly more specific reasons for 3 instead of 5 star, but I just don't get a feeling of 5 star in my chest. And after I typed in the boxes and starred my rating, I don't see a Submit button.

 This was a wonderful collection of films, ranging from the exciting through the inspiring, to the hilarious. Brilliant work!

 North Bend Theater is one of my favorite places. And this was an exceptional program. The piece about the couple who hiked into Baffin Island and climbed a mountain was spectacular. We got to see that beautiful photography of a place that we won't likely ever visit!!! And the piece about the paralyzed folks biking made us all cry!!!! Thanks for bringing this series to us.

 Good movie reviews. Not the world's best short films, but entertaining.

 Outstanding Venue end-to-end.

 would have been nice to get an email closer to the event sharing more details of what to expect - like parking or how many films, that there would be intermission, length of evening's events. Survey form requires a log-in and there isn't a clear way to submit. Thank you.

 Both nights featured wonderful movies.

 I have been to the Bannf film festival many times, at several different venues. This venue underwhelmed me. It was absolutely full, and not possible for those arriving a few minutes late to find available seats. I will avoid this venue in the future.

 Love Banff Film Festival and the Capital! Perhaps an earlier time on Sunday?

 Great films this year~

 5 star - the films were great and a big improvement over the last few years.

 Fabulous! Great mix of films.

 Great in general except for one film: biking down a Buddhist shrine was poor form and hard to watch, followed by a comment about going where "ordinary people" don't go after spending the entire film biking through Nepali towns...comments like that represent the worst of the outdoors community. I surprised that film made it through.

 Favorite Films: #1 Old Man Lightening #2 Emil & Karl - Little Wheels, Big Mountains

 always exciting Enjoyed the show

 amazing venue and film selection!

 Good mix of quick hit and long form films.

 Loved the many films.

 Wonderful films - excellent videography. Theater is conveniently located with plenty of parking.

 Really enjoyed Mt. Robson and Old Man Lightning films. The vibe of the event felt a bit different than previous years due to missing our Canadian friends at the event.

 Great event! excellent films

 We loved this selection of films, and hope to see more next year. Fantastic!

 I'm low key liking my time there. It wasn't phenomenal , but I'm impressed with the film lineup.

 Wonderful collection of films, and the theater in North Bend is lovely and charming.

 Great films. I think about them all year long and look forward to seeing them again next year. Thank you for providing such a high quality experience!

 Easy, fun, thought provoking, always looking forward to this yearly event.

 Outstanding quality and enjoyment. Thank you!

 Great films. I think about them all year long and look forward to seeing them again next year. Thank you for providing such a high quality experience!

 Awesome. Thanks for continuing to bring this event to Everett

 Loved, enjoyed every minute!

 The historic theater was a perfect venue for this event.

 Fingers crossed the event will be in the same location in 2027.

 It was good. Some shorts were long for shorts.

 INTERESTING BUT NOT WHAT i WAS EXPECTING

 Well organized and friendly crew.

 awesome films!

 Fantastic venue and the films were great. I liked the variety of sports and a comedic ending was really fantastic.

 Outstanding! Thank you!

 Had a great night as usual, we come to this event every single year, at least one of the evenings over the weekend

 INTERESTING BUT NOT WHAT i WAS EXPECTING. I LOVED THE DADS TAKING THE TODDLERS FOR A DAY OUT!! I ENJOYED THE FILIPINO PURSUING HER SPORT AT HOME AND THEN EXPERIENCING IT ABROAD IN HER FATHER'S COUNTRY. BEAUTIFUL STORY. WAS ANNOYED WITH THE EPISODE OF THE SELF INDULGENT MAN WHO COULD NOT SUPPORT HIMSELF AND LIVED OFF HIS GIRLFRIEND AS HE PURSUED HIS SINGLE TESTERONE DRIVEN GOAL OF CONQUERING THE BOULDER. i WANTED TO WALK OUT HE ANNOYED ME SO MUCH.

 Excellent Thank you!

 I’m used to seeing adrenaline pumping shorts in this festival. The kids on bikes were cute, but the boulder climber film was boring and should’ve been replaced with something more awe inspiring.

 Overall enjoyed the films, but wasn’t as inspiring as other years.The overpowering male presence in the films was hard to get over. There MUST be a way to better balance this. In past years - there has been a film or even two included that is about conservation or some other aspect of being outdoors outside of extreme sports. Will come back to support next year because I do really like this event and being at the theater with others who love being outside!

 It was awesome! Can't wait for next year.

 Good mix of quick hit and long form films.

 Great stories, really enjoyed all the movies.

 not attending

 Great venue and great experience!

 The rafting mother was lame. She had to be a squirrel!

 Didn't attend.

 The event was fun but the one movie was too long about the girl and her dad skiing 🎿 n the glacier I just thought it could have been shortened and the event over in 2 hours instead of 3. Lots of beautiful, breathtaking mountains and landscapes! Oh I liked the love story about the couple that was clipping the birds for safety

 Of a Lifetime and The Last Observers were my favorites

 Great films, great venue, great host and guest filmmaker

 Didn't attend

 Great film selection! So glad that the Banff film festival is back in Cleveland again. A lot of energy in the crowd.

 especially the 4 Frenchmen who were in Alaska

 Bird in the Backyard was my favorite

 One of my favorite movie experiences ever!
