Adventure Crew is bringing the premier all-women and genderqueer film festival back to Cincinnati on March 16. New this year, the event is moving to the Esquire Theatre in Clifton for a full-blown movie experience.
The festival features adventurous stories, which include kayaking the length of the Mississippi, adapting to mountain biking after a life-altering injury and breaking down barriers to climbing.
“We’ve gotten such great feedback about this event the last few years, and we’re excited to make it even better with the move to a theater,” said Miriam Wise, Adventure Crew’s director of support and engagement. “Our lineup of films promises moments of awe, laughter and maybe even a few tears as viewers experience inspiring stories of overcoming challenges in the outdoors, whether those challenges are physical, mental or societal.”
The evening will kick off with social time from 6-7 p.m. at Sitwell’s, 324 Ludlow Ave., next to the theater. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. There is a cash bar and food will be available for purchase.
Based in Denver, the film festival has reached audiences in nearly every U.S. state and abroad. “No Man’s Land” celebrates the full breadth of women and gender-nonconforming athletes, creatives, storytellers and adventurers. Its mission is to un-define feminine in adventure, sport and film. Through human collaboration and action-oriented solutions, “No Man’s Land” continues to implement and inspire change in the outdoor, sport and film industries.
All proceeds from the Cincinnati event will support Adventure Crew, a nonprofit that connects city teens to nature and each other through engaging outdoor adventures.
