Rooted in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. BVFI nurtures and elevates nonfiction films that have the power to transform our mountains, water, life, dream, and ourselves.
Our Mission
The Bow Valley Film Institute (BVFI) is an arts and connection non-profit dedicated to the transformative power of film. Our will empowers a diverse range of local filmmakers, promotes media literacy for all ages, and presents meaningful stories that inspire our engaged communities.
Our Story
Beginning in 2022 as a modest, local arts event in Canmore, AB.The Bow Valley Film Tour (BVFT) features a collection of stories from the Bow Valley. These incredible films celebrate the spirit of the mountains, water, life, and dreams.
The tour is organized in and around the Bow Valley region, sharing stories from the community and with the community. The tour includes films that highlight various aspects of outdoor adventure, mountain culture, environmental issues, and human life.
BVFT's goal is to share meaningful stories with our communities and support filmmakers in telling stories that need to be told. BVFT has grown to become an annual event, screening films with local communities to inspire, support, and connect through media literacy and storytelling.
A small tour with big heart.
