The festival features nine short films ranging from just over a minute to just under 20 minutes, celebrating the voices of women, men, and gender-diverse individuals in the outdoor industry.

Gelatt, the co-owner of the Rivoli, and Bitner, part of the on La Crosse Adventure Film committee, discuss some of their favorites — because of course they got to preview them — but we made sure ‘no spoilers.’

This is the 10th year of the No Man’s Land Film Festival but first year it’s come to La Crosse. It’s goal is to empower marginalized voices and spark conversations to create a more inclusive outdoor community.
