25.01.2022 No Man's Land Film Festival starting tomorrow now virtually from now until Monday, get your tickets through their website and enjoy a handful of great outdoors adventure films. THE LITAS - This is a film about Gevin Fax, the oldest member of the women motorcycle collective, The Litas. Growing up in Los Angeles as an African American lesbian in the 1960s, Gevin found that the world wasn’t always forgiving. She started riding dirt bikes at the age of twelve which distanced her even further from the other kids. Though it was because of her love for riding that gifted her peace of mind; it was her meditation, her medicine, her way to escape all of the other noise. Now, because of The Litas, she shares her love for the road with thousands of women all over the world.

PORTAL - Filmed in March 2019, during an expedition to the island of Olkhon, the purpose of which was the suspension and the passage of the slackline over the lake Baikal with a length of 62 meters at an altitude of about 100 meters. Lake Baikal since ancient times is considered a sacred place and a place of power for Siberian shamans. This short film tells how the state of mind of a tightrope Walker walking on a tight rope and a shaman in a state of ritual trance are connected.

WHERE THE WILD THINGS KEEP PLAYING - An ode to the athlete who relishes in getting dirty, who chuckles after a long day in the mountains, effortlessly glides through the crystal clear waves and most importantly, is unapologetic in pursuing their love of getting rowdy in adventures.

WOMEN ARE MOUNTAINS - is a short documentary film that portrays the lives of climbers Mônica Filipini and Danielle Pinto in the quiet city of São Bento do Sapucai, in the countryside of São Paulo, Brazil. At the same time as they are responsible for their children and domestic affairs, they are able to enjoy their great passion: the mountains. With lyricism, this documentary showcases Brazilian feminine multi-pitch climbing scenery (a traditionally masculine sport in Brazil) and investigates the motivations of the two climbers practicing the sport.

No Man's Land Film Festival has nailed it too - delivering not just a film festival but the entire Flagship festival - 4 DAYS OF FILMS...to the world in the comfort of their homes! Check this film out...it's on the list, starting tomorrow. LIFE OF PIE - It wasn’t long ago that the small Colorado town of Fruita was solely a hub of agriculture and oil and gas development. But singletrack shredders and pizza chefs Jen Zeuner and her par...tner Anne Keller have helped to transform the high-desert town into a mountain biking hotspot with their Hot Tomato Café. It wasn’t always easy some residents of conservative Fruita weren’t quite ready for their lifestyle at first. But the women’s delicious East Coast-style pizza and the love they put into making it have made them indispensable members of the community and turned the Hot Tomato into the living room of the Grand Valley’s outdoor recreation industry.
