A rare event in Manitoba makes its return to Dauphin this week.
Tonight is the opening night for the Banff Mountain Film Festival at Countryfest Community Cinema.
General Manager Shawn Sarkonak says they will have different themed nights over each of the two nights of the festival.
"We are going to have one night that is called Quartzite and the other night is called Sandstone. And within that, we will be showing 7 short films each evening with about a 30-minute intermission in between. Anybody coming can enjoy adult beverages and relax and watch some amazing independent films that are all about the outdoors."
Dauphin is one of only two spots in Manitoba that hosts the Banff Mountain Film Festival.
Tickets are $30 per night and Sarkonak encourages you to buy in advance, as there are limited tickets remaining for either night.
They are available through the Countryfest Cinema website or their Facebook page.
