Fourth annual Tahoe/Reno Adventure Film Festival Feb. 26 at Grand Sierra Resort
Lake Tahoe and Reno are recognized as breeding grounds for elite athletes and year-round adventurers, and Reno is the stage for the fourth annual Tahoe Adventure Film Festival on Feb. 26 at Grand Sierra Resort and Casino.
Designed to capture the intensity and passion of adventure, the film festival is a perfect summary of outdoor culture. The Dramatic action photography from Aurora Photos flashes on the big screen while go-go dancers and a deejay pump up the crowd, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The main event commences at 7:30 p.m. showcasing glimpses from the best action sports films of the year, covering the spectrum of adventure including skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, rock climbing, surfing, skating, mountain biking, BASE jumping and other heart pounding sports. Many of the segments are special edits including previews of movies that have not been released.
"This is one night to see the progression in the best action and adventure sports films of the year and learn about new developing sports," said Todd Offenbacher, founder and event host, world adventurer and popular host for Outside Television. "We put together a line-up of the best clips of the year from around the world and showcase them in one night of energy, exhilaration and entertainment to appeal to a variety of ages.”
“When you are in the audience, you can’t help but get amped up about the films, outdoor adventure and getting out of your seat to go outside and explore the wild places around us,” said Corey Rich, photographer/filmmaker.
The 2011 Tahoe/Reno Adventure Film Festival is Saturday, Feb. 26. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. followed by the films at 7:30 p.m. Advance ticket purchases are encouraged and are $20 or $23 the day of the show.
