Highlighting the year’s best action sports films, the Tahoe Adventure Film Festival makes its Mammoth debut at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 4 and 5 at Edison Theatre. Each evening gives audiences the same action-packed film lineup. Attendees will get to meet Tahoe Adventure Film Festival creator, climber, TV personality and emcee of the evening, Todd Offenbacher.

Now in its ninth year, the Tahoe Adventure Film Festival welcomed a record-breaking audience of 1,400 viewers to its premiere in Lake Tahoe last December. To create the Festival lineup, producers selected the eight most thrilling action sports films out of a huge pool of submissions. Each selected filmmaker then produced a five to 20 minute segment, which was edited together for an unforgettable festival of adventure.

This year’s Festival footage includes wingsuit BASE jumping, big mountain snowboarding, El Cap climbing, speed alpine ascents, steep first descents and huge crashes. Film segments hail from Teton Gravity Research, Red Bull, Standard Films, Shreddy Times, Sender Films, Trans Global, Fly Zone and Hi Tec’s newest films.

Ten dollar general admission tickets are available by calling 760.934.6592.
