Mezinárodni Horolezecký Filmový Festival (International Mountaineering Film Festival)
The first International Mountaineering Film Festival in Teplice nad Metují was held in 1981. A friendly meeting in the initial years, the event soon became popular and flourished with open air screenings and folk concerts. After the revolutionary events in 1989 many other opportunities for self-realization became accessible to people and combination of circumstances cancelled the Festival for a period of three years. However, the tragic death of Miroslav Šmid, the father of the Festival, in 1993 encouraged a group of his friends to restore the glory and atmosphere of the Festival. The organizers' aim was to widen the field of interest, to enrich the purely climbing project with some other outdoor sports and the relationship of people with nature in general.
When: the last weekend in August each year.
Hosted By Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre
