AlpinFilm, the Teton Climbers’ Coalition’s annual celebration of mountain storytelling, explores the world of alpine adventures and the reasons we pursue them.
Presented by Teton Mountaineering, AlpinFilm is informed by Jackson Hole’s identity as the epicenter of American mountaineering. From homegrown adventures to international expeditions, the Tetons have inspired climbers and ski mountaineers to push physical, mental and spiritual boundaries for more than a century. That legacy informs the selection of our films and the composition of our audience, which includes the local mountain community and winter visitors alike.
More than a showcase of adventurous acts, AlpinFilm explores the reasons we embark on adventures in the first place. AlpinFilm’s emphasis on cinematographic storytelling and on films that span the globe is a tribute to the Tetons and the international community they inspire.
All proceeds from AlpinFilm underwrite the work of The Teton Climbers’ Coalition, a 501c3 non-profit organization that stewards, advocates and engages on behalf of the Teton climbing community.
