WHO WE ARE

THE MOUNTAIN FILM INSTITUTE


MFDB and MFI
WEBSITE TO GIVE OUT INFORMATION AND GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE NETWORK		 Mountain Film Database is a Mountain Film Institute (MFI) initiative. It was founded for it to become a great content showroom that would allow to disseminate the Institute's activity and work globally. However, MFDB wants to become more than only a dissemination platform. MFDB's website aims at becoming a changing and growing web, where user inputs play a great role, and were they finally turn the web more into a network of collective knowledge than a self-managed content web. The ultimate goal is that over time, Mountain Film Database's website will be a mountain films worldwide reference site.
