Eftir þó nokkurn hringlandahátt er nú hægt að staðfesta að Banff fjallamyndahátíðin verður haldin mánudaginn 26. og þriðjudaginn 27. apríl. Þetta eru sem sagt tvö kvöld og sýndar verða mismunandi myndir hvorn dag. Dagskrána má finna hér neðar í fréttinni.
Sýningarnar verða í sal Ferðafélags Íslands, Mörkinni 6 og hefjast þær stundvíslega klukkan 20:00. Miðaverð á hvort kvöld er 1.000,- kr. fyrir félaga í Ísalp (framvísið félagsskírteini) en 1.200,- kr. fyrir utanfélagsmenn. Ef keyptir eru miðar á bæði kvöldin í einu eru þeir á 1.600,- kr. fyrir félagsmenn og 2.000,- kr. fyrir aðra.
Viljum við biðja fólk um að mæta tímanlega svo hægt sé að halda dagskrá. Seinna kvöldið verða úrslit í ljósmyndasamkeppni Ísalp. Nánari upplýsingar um hana má finna í frétt á forsíðu.
Í ár er hátíðin haldin í samstarfi við Íslenska Fjallaleiðsögumenn og 66°Norður. Fleiri styðja við bakið á Ísalp á ýmsan hátt og ber þeim að þakka þann stuðning því án hans væri þetta ekki gerlegt.
Við vonumst til að sjá sem flesta og eins og alltaf stólum við á að félagar láti orðið berast og auglýsi hátíðina sem víðast. Dagskráin er fjölbreytt og því eitthvað að finna fyrir allt áhugafólk um útivist og jaðarsport.
Með vorkveðju,
Stjórn ÍSALP
Dagskrá Banff fjallamyndahátíðarinnar 2010
Fyrra kvöldið (26/4)
1. Azazel (Big-wall). 22 mín.
Four friends set out to establish a new route on the Trango Pulpit Tower, a mythic 6000-metre-high rock wall in Pakistan. Days and days of pleasure, quantities of testosterone expended, frozen fingers and naps on the wall.
2. On Sight (Klifur). 16 mín.
On Sight" is the fruition of an idea that many considered impossible: a film capturing the blood, sweat and mystery of on-sight climbing as it happens. The result is a tense, profound and often hilariously funny portrait of climbing's most elusive realm, and a deep insight into what drives the climbers who explore it.
3. Signatures: Canvas of Snow (Skíði). 16 mín.
In Japan there is a cultural connection to the different signatures of terrestrial home - a sense that the rhythm of fall, winter, spring and summer influences the rhythm of the person, their energy, their riding style and the lines they choose. This special edit features skiers, snowboarders, a photographer and a noboarder who are each in tune with this connection to winter and the environment they ride in.

4. Revolution One (Unicycle). 11 mín.
"Revolution One" takes a look into the history, people and places that have defined the rapidly emerging sport of off-road unicycling. Follow world champion unicyclists Kris Holm and Dan Heaton as they display riding that has blown the minds of viewers worldwide.
5. Mont-Blanc Speed Flying (Kite). 10 mín.
Six speed riders fly from the upper slopes of Mont Blanc down to Chamonix in one continuous 10-minute shot, filmed in Cineflex.
6. First Ascent: Alone on the Wall (Sólóklifur) 24 mín.
After gaining international climbing renown for his landmark free-solo of "Moonlight Buttress" (V, 5.12+, 9 pitches) in Zion National Park, Utah, in April 2008, 24-year-old Alex Honnold moves on to his next big challenge: the first free-solo of the "Regular Northwest Face" route (VI, 5.12a, 23 pitches) on Yosemite’s Half Dome.
7. NWD10: Dust and Bones (Hjól). 15 mín.
Seinna kvöldið (27/4)
1. Rowing the Atlantic (Róðrarafrek). 26 mín.
A few years ago, Roz Savage gave up what for many would be an ideal life (husband, great job, big house), picked up a few pairs of rowing oars and a boat to go with them and set off across the Atlantic Ocean – alone – in a rowboat.
2. Look to the Ground (Hjól). 5 mín.
Look to the Ground" is a snapshot of the inspiring story of Bobby McMullen, a professional athlete who is legally blind and has worked against the odds to become a top mountain bike rider.
3. First Ascent: The Impossible Climb (Klifur). 24 mín.
Star sport climber Chris Sharma takes on his greatest challenge yet: the unclimbed, 90-metre limestone cave on Mt. Clark, California. Chris dangles from one finger, jumps between minuscule handholds and takes 30-metre free falls as he endeavours to make the first ascent of what will be the most difficult rock climb in the world.

4. Hunlen (Ísklifur). 13 mín.
What happens if you show up to climb one of the biggest frozen waterfalls in Canada -- but it isn't completely frozen? Will Gadd and EJ Plimley battle to do the first ascent of B.C.'s remote Hunlen Falls. Falling ice, crashing water, fear, big fun!
5. Project Megawoosh (Verkfræðinördismi - húmor). 5 mín.
Bruno Kammerl, a German engineer, works to perfect the world's tallest human water slide.
6. Committed 2: Walk of Life (Klifur). 21 mín.
The biggest and most difficult challenge of James Pearson's life - a vast blank slab on the Devon sea cliffs.
This beautiful but terrifying line takes over his life until finally, sick with nerves and fear, he is ready for this scary lead.
7. Re:Sessions (Skíði). 17 mín.
"Re:Session" documents the true wealth of the mountain experience. Check out seven weeks of epic riding in BC and Alaska. Re:Session brings the most talented athletes in the sport together into one must-see film.
