A visual feast will unfold on the screen, and help heal eyes halfway around the globe.

The 40th annual Banff Mountain Film Festival comes to Burlington this week, with three nights of screenings (Jan. 21, 22 and 23) at the University of Vermont’s Davis Center hosted by the UVM Outing Club and Skirack.

The festival serves as the Outing Club’s largest annual fundraiser, and this year will also benefit the Himalayan Cataract Project — a Vermont-based organization that aims to “eradicate preventable and curable blindness in the developing world.”
