Chamonix Film Festival

Founded in Chamonix (and a little bit at PlanB 🙂) in 2020 by Christophe and Morgane Raylat, the Chamonix Film Festival offers 5 days in June dedicated to the big screen and the mountains. PlanB Chamonix serves as the base camp and a hub for exchange during the festival.

Mountain Adventure Culture

For over two centuries, Chamonix has been the world capital of mountaineering, its name resonating in the hearts of all mountain enthusiasts.

This founding principle led to the creation of the Chamonix Film Festival. More than just a film festival, we envisioned this event as a grand celebration of the mountains, adventure, and their culture. Because mountaineering was born in Chamonix, our ambition is to pass on a two-century-old legacy and reflect the current state of a mountain world in flux.

Mountaineering, and adventure in the mountains more broadly, are not ordinary activities; the peaks are not merely playgrounds, but places of profound significance. Since late 2019, mountaineering has been recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. This tremendous recognition commits us to working toward passing on the history and culture of the mountains, raising awareness about environmental issues, respect for these places, and the safety of those who explore them. This commitment will be at the heart of our festival.

Finally, for two centuries, Chamonix has had an international reach, and our festival must reflect that. This is why, from our very first edition, we will offer bilingual streaming to share our passion with everyone who feels a thrill at the mere mention of the name Chamonix.
