CARBONDALE, Colorado — The 5 Point Film Festival, to debut May 8-10, is almost here, and the City of Carbondale is gearing up for all the special guests, filmmakers and film lovers coming out for this adventuresome event. Film screenings, panel discussions, film awards and a reception are all part of the fest. Its “rock-star” roster includes Yvon Chouinard, Erik Weihenmayer, Aaron Ralston, Tommy Caldwell and many more.

Named for the fifth-class grading system used by climbers, the new festival is built on five guiding principles: respect, commitment, humility, purpose and balance. These same principles also form a foundation for individuals who lead lives of adventure and connect those with an elemental passion to explore.

Films screenings are located at the Carbondale Recreation Center, Thunder River Theatre and other local venues. Tickets are limited and are on sale now at the Carbondale Recreation Center and Sounds Easy.
