Join Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance for Mountainfilm on Tour in The Center Theater.
Mountainfilm on Tour
Mountainfilm on Tour is coming to Jackson, with a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed, and inspiring documentary films that remind us why wild landscapes are worth protecting. Curated from the Mountainfilm festival held every Memorial Day weekend in Telluride, Colorado, these films will inspire adventure and conservation. Held at The Center for the Arts on September 4, the show will explore themes aligned with Mountainfilm’s mission: to use the power of film, art, and ideas, to inspire audiences to create a better world. Angela Hawse, an IFMGA mountain guide and former President of the American Mountain Guide Association and Jackson Hole resident, will be presenting her film “Mountain Guides: Barometers of Change.” Mountainfilm on Tour in Jackson is hosted by the Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance.
Come early for our pre-film screening mixer at 6:00 PM. Meet Angela Hawse, catch up with old friends, connect with fellow lovers of the outdoors, enjoy complimentary small bites, purchase a drink from the bar, and enter to win incredible raffle prizes before the film begins.

Selected Films:
Good Luck Kid
Taylor Shaffer is an emerging photographer and expedition cinematographer, who joins Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell on a 2,500‑mile push into Alaska’s Tongass National Forest to attempt an audacious climb. The film traces Shaffer’s uncertain leap from student to storyteller, armed with a minimal kit and a restless curiosity. Good Luck, Kid asks what it takes to find a voice when everything is on the line, how risk tests character, how collaboration remakes ambition and how a single trip can redefine a life’s direction..
Plant Life
Dr. Joanne Chory pursued a question bordering on scientific heresy: What if plants didn’t need light to grow? A scientist who rewrote the rules of plant biology, Chory faces her own mortality as she turns her attention to one last big, urgent experiment: harnessing plants to fight for the planet.
Mountain Guides: Barometers of Change
As mountain guide Angela Hawse goes into the Arctic, her life’s work collides with a rapidly warming planet. She’s spent decades leading people into Earth’s most awe-inspiring places, and her story highlights how firsthand connection to threatened landscapes can turn us into lifelong ambassadors for the places we love..
Fish for the Future
At the beginning of 2025 the Palisades fire ravaged the Santa Monica Mountains in Los Angeles. In the aftermath, conservation biologists and volunteers scramble to rescue one of the last endangered steelhead trout populations in the region before an upcoming rainstorm. The team has a short window to save as many fish as possible as mudslides threaten to wipe out their habitat.
Best Day Ever
In the rugged hills of Vermont, adaptive riders Greg Durso and Allie Bianchi aren’t just navigating disabilities; they’re rewriting the rules of the trail. Through grit, humor and a heavy dose of attitude, they dismantle ableism one berm at a time. Supported by a relentless grassroots community, their journey turns mountain biking into a blueprint for independence and belonging. This isn’t just about the ride — it’s about proving that when we build for everyone, every day can be the best day ever.
