Mammoth Lakes No Man's Land Film Festival


As the premier all-women + gender non-conforming 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 and film since 2015. Based out of Denver, Colorado, NMLFF meets a need and desire to highlight and connect women in pursuit of the radical. No Man's Land is 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.

Along with cultivating a deep interest in exploring the vastness of our planet from a groundbreaking point of view, we strive to create a history of motivating audiences to implement and inspire change through human collaboration. Our mission transcends the films presented; this festival acts as a platform for progressive thought and movement in the outdoor industry.

Moving forward, NMLFF revised its mission statement in 2020 to create safe and inclusive platforms that further champion transgender and LGBTQ+ communities with grit, hustle, determination, and boundless passion, investing them with the respect, support, and media recognition they deserve.

There is a difference between not being discriminatory and being inclusive, and as a community, we need to acknowledge that difference. Being inclusive requires more effort and understanding of social constructs in order to break them down and un-define what it means to be feminine in the outdoor arena.

At No Man’s Land, we stand for inclusivity and equality on all levels. The time to act and invest in more women, trans, genderqueer, and BIPOC representation is now. Discrimination exists everywhere, but we all have the power to be changemakers.
