The festival features films of adventure, culture and wildlife from the world's remote regions. Mountain

Film also examines threats to the environment and human rights. The three-day festival presents

mountaineering films and personalities, as well as symposia, photography exhibits, and

readings from mountaineering literature.

A good storyteller can weave a tale that combines a spectrum of emotion and creates an image that

returns months and years later. S.O.M.O.S. (Society of the Muse of the Southwest) has created an

event that provides just this kind of outlet and opportunity. The two-day event offers an impressive lineup

of tellers spinning their weave in concerts, children stories, tales of the weird, and in visits to our locals

schools.
