Ja tenke seg til…her er jeg midt i Afrika, og hva er det som dukker opp; jo BANFF den mest prestisjetunge internasjonale fjell-film-festivalen som er en årlig konkurranse og presentasjon av dokumentarer og kort-filmer som omhandler fjellklatring, frilufttsliv og miljø. Festivalen startet i 1976 og holdes årlig i Banff, Alberta Canada, hvor den har sitt utspring.
Ja da må man jo bare få tak i billetter og dra! …og slik be det :)
Jeg drog sammen med to venninner på BANFF filmfestival i tjukkeste Afrika.
Først tok jeg lokalbussen fra Entebbe til Kampala, og det er jo en historie for seg selv i lukt, lyd og bilder. Det tar også gruelig lang tid på grunn av utallige stopp og mye merkelig “veiarbeid”. Vell fremme, møtte jeg mine venninner og vi hoppet på hver våres “bodaboda” som er motorsykkel-taxi og suste avgårde forbi all rush-trafikk til vi kom til film-teateret hvor BANFF Festivalen var.
Nå skal det sies at det var på et utrolig fint kino-lokale i Ugandas hovedstad Kampala, men det er allikevel ganske finurlig og sitte i varme Afrika og se på fantastiske ski-filmer.

Yeh…can you imagine?
... here I am in the middle of Africa, and what's happening?
BANFF is !!!
The most 
prestigious international film competition and an annual presentation of short films and documentaries about mountain culture, sports, and environment. It was launched in 1976 as The Banff Festival of Mountain Films by The Banff Centre and is held every October in Banff, Canada.

Oh yes, I only had to get tickets and go! ... and so I did together with two friends of mine who are working in Kampala :)
I took the local bus from Entebbe to Kampala, and that's a story of its own …the smells and the sounds and how crowded it is… It also takes a terrible long time due to countless stops and a lot of strange "roadworks".
I arrived alive and met my friends and we jumped on “bodaboda"s which are motorcycle taxis and drove off passing all the rush traffic. We reached the cinema theatre in time for the BANFF Festival.
Now I really have to tell you that this was an incredibly nice cinema in Uganda's capital Kampala, but it's still kind of strange to be situated in the middle of Africa and watch amazing skiing movies.
