A film festival celebrating women in the outdoor community
By Tommy Cha
How many of you like the outdoors?
Do you like to climb? Go fishing? Biking?
Well, the Associated Students Outdoor Center is hosting a short-film festival on Thursday, March 8! And guess what day that is? It is International Womxn’s Day!
The film festival is to celebrate that day. I talked with the Outdoor Center’s Marketing Resources Coordinator, junior Kelly Oberbillig. She was one of the folks who helped put on this event.
Kelly told me that the purpose for this event is to “bring recognition and support to the female outdoor community”.
I asked why this was important to her, and she said womxn who contribute to the outdoors are empowering, and that she is a fan of festivals.
There are going to be a total of 17 professionally-made short films about womxn and the outdoors, ranging from climbing, fishing, flying, to skating.
Oberbillig had the support of the community, which did not make it too difficult to put on.
Just remember, No Man’s Land is Thursday, March 8, at Arntzen Hall 100.
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Showtime is at 6 p.m. Prices are $3.00 for students, and $5.00 for general admission. There will also be raffles from American Alpine Institute, Back Country Essentials, Casa Que Pasa, and many more!
