About this event

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.
