Award winners and audience favorites are selected to play in theaters around the world. With stops planned in a total of more than 600 communities in more than 40 countries across the globe, the film festival tour reaches a combined audience of more than 550,000.

The tour stop in Grand Junction will include films about a rafting guide on the Salmon River in Idaho, parents and their two children who climb Norway’s national mountain and a ski crew called the Blondes. Oliver Sutro, director of the film titled “School of Fish” will be at the festival on Feb. 16 to introduce his film.
