Our Story
Beginning in 2022 as a modest local arts event in Canmore, AB, the Bow Valley Film Tour (BVFT) features a collection of stories from the Bow Valley.
These films celebrate the spirit of humanity, life, and dreams.
The BVFT’s mission is to share stories within our communities and support filmmakers in telling the stories that need to be told. It is an event dedicated to screening films that inspire, support, and connect people through media literacy and the power of storytelling.
A small tour with big heart.
