1pm - Meet the Speakers Reception | 1:30pm - Brief introduction followed by screening of All the President's Men | After the film - Stay for a conversation about the movie and how it relates to today. Two green reporters and rivals working for the Washington Post, Bob Woodward (Robert Redford) and Carl Bernstein (Dustin Hoffman), research the botched 1972 burglary of the Democratic Party Headquarters at the Watergate apartment complex. With the help of a mysterious source, code-named Deep Throat (Hal Holbrook), the two reporters make a connection between the burglars and a White House staffer. This event is in partnership with NHPR's Civics 101.
4:30pm - Doors, look for a table from North Country Pride! | 5pm - Screening of Summer of 85 | After Summer of 85, stay for a screening of The Stranger at 7:30pm. | After the double feature: Join us for a community conversation held in partnership with North Country Pride! When Alexis (Félix Lefebvre) capsizes off the coast of Normandy, David (Benjamin Voisin) comes to the rescue and soon opens the younger boy’s eyes to a new horizon of friendship, art, and sexual bliss. Their seaside summer fling lasts just six weeks, but casts a shadow over a lifetime in François Ozon’s sexy, nostalgic reverie of first love and its consequences.

Since 1976, the Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival, a flagship program of Banff Centre, has been an industry leader in the celebration of Mountain Culture. Following the festival each fall, our annual World Tour reaches more than 45 countries on 7 continents, making us the largest adventure film tour on the planet.
