Caltech Alpine Club hosts several public film festivals a year! We love to bring the greater community together to celebrate outdoor endeavors through films, games, prizes, and great conversations.

Since 2010, the Caltech Alpine Club has hosted the Reel Rock Film Tour, one of climbing's greatest celebrations! Each year, this Tour features a new collection of world premiere films related to climbing. This show is typically held in January on Caltech's campus.
This event includes outdoor booths before the show where you can get to know other local climbers and mountaineers, and meet our sponsors (local climbing gyms, Search and Rescue, and more).
Win prizes from local sponsors in our raffle and fun challenge games during intermission!
Since 2001, Caltech's Alpine Club has been a proud host of the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour. Stopping at over 550 locations in 40 countries around the globe, the Tour celebrates the best films shown at the annual Festival in Banff, Alberta, Canada--one of the premier exhibitions of films about mountain and outdoor culture in the world. The Banff World Tour features epic films about skiing, running, mountain biking, rock climbing, surfing, base jumping, environmentalism, and more! Shows are typically held in March and include friendly competitions, sponsor activation, raffle prize giveaways, and lots of hype! Learn more about Banff Mountain Film Festival here.

Membership is free and open to the community!
