The Teton Climbers’ Coalition is proud to announce the lineup for its third annual AlpinFilm Festival, which will be held at Jackson Hole’s Center for the Arts on January 17-18, 2025.
Tickets for this year’s AlpinFilm may be found here. Doors open each night at 6:30 p.m. Films begin at 7.
Presented by Teton Mountaineering, AlpinFilm, Jackson Hole’s only homegrown mountain film festival, features climbing, skiing and mountaineering films from around the world. In curating this year’s lineup, film festival organizers looked at more than 300 award-winning films before selecting a lineup specifically tailored for a Jackson Hole audience.
“AlpinFilm is our tribute to the Tetons and everyone they inspire,” noted Christian Beckwith, AlpinFilm’s director. “Every year, we try to put together a program that resonates deeply with our community. We feel that the 2025 lineup is our strongest yet.”
In addition to two evenings of unforgettable mountain films, the festival is collaborating with the Teton Backcountry Alliance on a panel discussion, “Dancing with Risk,” that will be held Saturday, Jan. 18, from 5-6 at Black Diamond. The discussion will explore the relationship between mountain athletes and the objective hazards inherent to our adventures.
The event also features a silent auction, offering attendees a chance to support local climbing initiatives while taking home unique items from local companies and national brands.
All proceeds from AlpinFilm directly underwrite the Teton Climbers’ Coalition’s mission to steward, advocate, and engage on behalf of the Teton climbing community.
