It’s All About Community – and the Power of Film!

Wildsight Invermere is thrilled to welcome Eagle-Eye Tours as the Presenting Sponsor of the 12th Wild & Scenic Film Festival — happening right here in Invermere on November 15th and online!

More than just a film night, the festival is a high-spirited gathering where inspiration, community, and our shared connection to nature take centre stage. It’s an evening to celebrate wild places and the stories that remind us why they matter.  With ten short documentaries filling this night in 2025, you’ll laugh, sigh, be inspired, provoked, and entertained by a cast of unforgettable characters — human and otherwise — from all corners of the planet. Check out the film program here.

Each year, local businesses and individuals show their love for the Columbia Valley by stepping up to support this popular Wildsight Invermere fundraiser. This year, Eagle-Eye Tours stands out as our Presenting Sponsor.  Owned by Windermere locals Cam Gillies and Renée Franken, Eagle-Eye Tours has spent more than 25 years sharing the wonder of nature with curious travellers — from the wild coastlines of Canada to the far reaches of Antarctica, Africa, and the Galápagos Islands. 

True to their values, Eagle-Eye Tours also gives back: a portion of their profits supports conservation and research projects around the globe.

That same spirit of stewardship lies at the heart of the Wild & Scenic Film Festival — inspiring action and celebrating the natural world through storytelling, education, and community connection. Thanks Eagle-Eye Tours!

See you all on November 15th! And remember, if you can’t make it to Invermere, you can still be part of the action and support the work of Wildsight Invermere by buying a ticket for the online viewing option.

 We are very grateful for all the great work that Wildsight Invermere does and are pleased to support the festival. The festival is a great opportunity to bring people together for a night of thought-provoking films and support for conservation.Cam Gillies, owner of Eagle-Eye Tours
