Same uninspired opening and closure, but the films seemed to be more engaging.

   I enjoyed most of the films but there weren’t enough extreme sports or endurance athletes. I enjoy the human interest and cultural stories but I miss the biking, kayaking or adventure racing stories. After 15+ years at the Denver banff film festival I’ve come to expect more variety.

 Overall, a good experience but there appeared to be communication issues. I don’t know if it was an issue from Banff/the filmmaker, or an issue with the AV tech, but the subtitles were cut off for a good portion of a film. It also seemed like poor communication from the movie theater hosting us that concessions would be closed at intermission. If this site continues to be used, I would start earlier so folks can access concessions at intermission or tell us when they close

     Great!

   Films were not as good as they were the last time we attended in 2020. Also, during the 40 minute French film with subtitles we could not read what was being said due to the subtitles being outside the bottom of the screen and not visible for the first half of the film. An audience member had to go advise someone of the problem, but too much of what was said had been missed to really enjoy the production.
