From: 21.10.2014 to: 23.10.2014

Mountain Duck is organizing a three-day event that is part of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour Argentina 2014. Prior to the screenings of films about mountain culture, sports and the environment, the organization is arranging for workshops to be held at La Nave Cultural Centre in Mendoza on 21-23 October. Led by the Asociacion Andina de Medicina para la Altura, the workshops will address first aid in wilderness areas, cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and medicine for high altitude areas.

Mendoza is one of seven cities hosting Banff events in Argentina this year and one of 300 cities in 20 countries holding events in conjunction with the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour.

The Banff Mountain Film Festival, an international film competition, takes place every November at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada, simultaneous to the Banff Mountain Book Festival. Select films go on tour and host organizations plan a programme of activities to complement the film showings.
