No Man’s Land Film Festival

Join us for an inspiring night of films followed by a panel who will share how they are redefining femininity. The No Man’s Land Film Festival Pride Program showcases several powerful short films highlighting underrepresented voices in the outdoors. From climbing and cycling to mountaineering and running, these stories celebrate queer, trans, BIPOC, and gender-expansive athletes redefining belonging and access in outdoor spaces. With themes of identity, resilience, and community, the lineup includes award-winning and premiere works by female and genderqueer filmmakers pushing boundaries through bold storytelling. As the premier all-women + genderqueer adventure film festival, No Man’s Land Film Festival (NMLFF) has celebrated the full scope of athletes and adventurers by un-defining femininity in adventure, sport, conservation, and film since 2015.

I Dreamed His Name

Through powerful and poetic storytelling, *I Dreamed His Name* follows director Ángela Carabalí and her sister Juliana as they traverse Colombia’s Indigenous farmlands to investigate the disappearance of their father. Thirty years ago, the Afro-Latino farmer became a victim of the violence enveloping the country during a period of civil unrest. Now, as Ángela and Juliana probe their missing parent’s story, they encounter others who lost family members in similar circumstances. Gorgeous and intimate cinematography further illuminates the tenderness in each frame of Carabalí's moving documentary debut, a chronicle not only of loss but also of the love the sisters have for their family and for one another.

Tank Girl (35mm)

Co-Presented by Frameline and The Curve Foundation For Lesbian Visibility Week 2025, Frameline, The Curve Foundation, and the Roxie Theater are banding together for the second year in a row to create a place for lesbians to see and be seen.

The film, featuring a strong cast including Lori Petty and Naomi Watts, tells the story of a spunky post-apocalyptic heroine in a corporate dystopia.

Deaf President Now!

For eight days in March 1988, students of Gallaudet University in Washington, DC, protested the appointment of a hearing president. Demanding truly representative leadership, the students broke the cycle of pity and condescension that defined their experience at the world’s first university for deaf and hard of hearing students. Actor Nyle DiMarco, a Gallaudet graduate, makes his directorial debut with this documentary that memorializes a watershed moment not only in American disability rights activism but also in the history of US student movements. Key players in the protest lead the audience through the events of those heady days and relate how they overcame sexism, ableism, and paternalism to ensure an equitable future for the generations of Gallaudet students that followed. Narrated through American Sign Language and voiceovers, Deaf President Now! relates the involving story of an under-reported triumph.

CAAMFest 2025: Boat People

Part of the 2025 CAAMFest series, Boat People is a powerful cinematic exploration of the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Directed by Ann Hui, the film chronicles the experiences of a Japanese photojournalist (George Lam) who travels to Vietnam three years after the Communist takeover. He befriends a local teenage girl (Season Ma) and her impoverished family, revealing the stark contrasts between the government's portrayal of a reborn Vietnam and the harsh realities faced by its citizens. The film employs haunting imagery to highlight themes of political repression and desperation that forced many Vietnamese to flee their homeland. Boat People is recognized as one of the seminal works of the Hong Kong New Wave.

CAAMFest 2025: Fucktoys

Part of the 2025 CAAMFest series. Annapurna Sriram’s first feature film is a lush 16mm fever dream that reimagines The Fool’s Journey in the Tarot through the story of AP, a sanguine young woman seeking salvation from a curse. AP is promised by not one but multiple psychics that, for a cool $1000 and the sacrifice of a baby lamb, the curse can be lifted. So she makes money in the only place she knows how: the uncouth underbelly of Trashtown. Dark, irreverent, and sexy, AP stumbles upon new characters and absurd situations, each more unhinged than the last. Fucktoys is a campy romp that explores the intersection of intimacy, exploitation, and class in a pre-millennium alternate universe. The film won the Special Jury Award for a Multi-Hyphenate at SXSW.

Caught by the Tides

The preeminent dramatist of China’s rapid 21st-century growth and social transformation, Jia Zhangke has taken his boldest approach to narrative yet with his marvelous 'Caught by the Tides'. Assembled from footage shot over a span of 23 years—a beguiling mix of fiction and documentary, featuring a cascade of images taken from previous movies, unused scenes, and newly shot dramatic sequences—'Caught by the Tides' is a free-flowing work of unspoken longing, carried along more by music than dialogue as it looms around the edges of a poignant love story. The film primarily follows Qiaoqiao, played by Jia's muse Zhao Tao, as she searches for her long-lost lover Bin in an increasingly unrecognizable country. Through Zhao’s delicate expressiveness, the film evokes the passage of time and change, presenting a profound narrative about love and loss.

Left Behind

Director Anna Toomey will be present for a Q&A with film participant Kareem Weaver after the screening of 'Left Behind'. This gripping documentary tells the story of five tenacious mothers who are determined to establish the first public school in New York City tailored for children with dyslexia. With dyslexia affecting one in five children, the film highlights the struggles of families who lack access to essential resources and support, especially in underserved communities. It aims to showcase how dyslexia is not a barrier to success but rather an opportunity for creativity and innovation, making a case for the need for equality in education. This event underscores the urgency of raising awareness about dyslexia as a civil rights issue.

MEANWHILE

MEANWHILE is a docu-poem in six verses about artists breathing through chaos. In dynamic collaboration, Jacqueline Woodson (text), Meshell Ndegeocello (soundscape), Erika Dilday (support), M. Trevino (structure), and Catherine Gund (direction) combine artists’ expressions with historical and observational footage to unveil a rare cinematic mediation about identity, race, racism, and resistance as they shape our shared breath. Centering breath as a symbol of resilience, MEANWHILE captures raw, unfinished moments—dancers in rehearsal, artists midway through their work—focusing on the act of creation. Rooted in the upheavals of 2020, the film uses breath as its through-line to symbolize collective survival. It invites viewers to witness the process of liberation and be present in the “meanwhile”—a moment of creation, struggle, and hope that transcends fixed identities.
