If you love the thrill of outdoor adventure, you’ll want to be at the Banff Mountain Film Festival, a screening of some of the most inspiring and thought-provoking environmental short action films around. In this selection, culled from the more than 300 submitted, you’ll travel to remote landscapes for up-close, adrenaline-packed sports, such as “Reel Rock: Origins — Obe & Ashima,” pictured, which screens Feb. 5. Filmmaker Skip Armstrong introduces his kayaking shorts “Seasons: Fall” on Feb. 6 and “Seasons: Winter” on Feb. 7.
