As the premier all-women + genderqueer adventure film festival, No Man’s Land Film Festival has celebrated the full scope of athletes and adventurers by un-defining femininity in adventure, sport, conservation, and film since 2015. Based out of Denver, CO, NMLFF meets a need and desire to highlight and connect women + gender-nonconforming communities in pursuit of the radical.
We are a collaboration of humans who are deeply engaged in enhancing the feminine presence in the outdoor adventure arena. The goal of this festival is to connect like-minded individuals who are action-oriented, wish to support a shared vision of gender equality, have a desire to experience their passions and environments through a uniquely feminine lens — and above all, love adventure.
Our Flagship Festival is held the second weekend of March in celebration of International Women's Day weekend. 2025 Denver Flagship dates are March 7th + 8th, 2025 in celebration of our 10-year anniversary.
OUR MISSION:
No Man's Land Film Festival seeks to break patterns and cycles of harm individually, collectively, and globally by upholding a platform for intersectional storytelling that inspires a radically inclusive, accessible, and equitable future. Through art, education, advocacy, and activism, we seek to challenge mainstream representation and work to dismantle the sexist, white-supremacist, cissexist, ableist, and other settler-colonial norms that cause harm to non-archetypal representation within the outdoor industry.
OUR VISION:
Our work is oriented by the diverse experiences of women, LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and multiracial communities of all abilities. We seek to foster environments and experiences to further educate and inspire audiences globally. With strong roots in feminism, No Man’s Land champions emerging and established voices of the global majority through exclusive premieres, panel discussions, and live performance.
All genders are welcome, and No Man’s Land encourages everyone to attend in expanding our collective capacity for growth and compassion.
NMLFF is a woman-led, service-minded, community-oriented arts and advocacy non-profit organization.
