If you're itching for a dose of adrenaline without having to leave the comfort of a theater seat, the Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival World Tour is set to rock the Paramount Theatre in Austin on April 27-28, where catching air and mountain majesty is just a ticket away.

The festival, which is on its 17th year hosted by Whole Earth Provision Co. in Austin, isn’t just about breathtaking cinematography and gasp-inducing stunts, but it also acts as a force for good, with this being the 12th year that Texas State Parks benefits from the event, and let’s be real, who doesn’t like it when doing good feels this good, right? Expect films to transport you across surreal landscapes and dive into the cultures that call them home while you’re perched on the edge of your seat with white-knuckled hands, clinging to the thrills of extreme sports from the safety of the theater.

Whole Earth Provision Co. founder Jack Jones praised Texas State Parks in a statement obtained by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, saying, "Congratulations to our Texas State Parks for providing Texans with places of natural beauty and recreation opportunities to refresh our spirits and create treasured memories," and he's sending out a bat-signal for all of us to pitch in and support these local havens.

Combining spectacle and philanthropy, Whole Earth isn't just using the festival as a fundraising vehicle; They've taken it up a notch with "April Is Texas State Park Month" in their stores, where customers also can open their wallets to contribute – talk about leverage, over the past dozen years they've raised a heartwarming sum north of $294,000 to support Texas state parks, isn't that the kind of news that just gives you the warm fuzzies?

Texas Parks and Wildlife’s Director Rodney Franklin expressed his gratitude in a quote from the news release, "We appreciate Whole Earth's ongoing commitment to Texas State Parks and their dedication to raising funds and promoting park visitation to their customers," stating that the partnership is something to be treasured.

The Paramount Theatre website is where you can snag the hot tickets for this event. And remember, this isn’t just any film festival; it’s a globetrotting phenomenon, featuring the crème de la crème from more than 400 entries all competing in Banff, Canada, before setting off on an intrepid journey to over 500 communities in 40 countries, tailored to reflect what makes each community's heart race.
