The Women’s Adventure Film Tour presents a thrilling selection of films that span extreme sports, personal journeys, and boundary-pushing storytelling from across the globe. This year’s program highlights the resilience and creativity of individuals navigating the challenges of both the outer world and their own inner landscapes.
AMC is exciterd to present a program that brings together incredible stories of courage, adventure, and self-discovery. These films represent the spirit of perseverance and the power of women in the outdoors to inspire, entertain, and spark important conversations.
**********
The lineup includes a diverse range of films that explore the physical, emotional, and personal journeys of athletes and adventurers
Sliding takes audiences into the high-speed world of skeleton sledding, capturing the intense precision and adrenaline of the sport.
Cycling the World follows one woman’s multi-year journey across five continents, 28 countries, and 29,000 kilometers, offering a powerful reflection on both the outer adventure and inner transformation.
It Will Be Different For You is a portrait of Olympian Lea Davison, who reflects on her lifelong relationship with mountain biking and the personal trials and triumphs that have shaped her path.
In Above Sinai, Egyptian kiteboarder Sarah Sadek defies cultural expectations and empowers her community, challenging norms while embracing her love of the sport.
Drawn In tells the story of Jessa Gilbert, a backcountry guide and visual artist, whose creative process intertwines the exploration of glaciated terrain with the art of painting, revealing the shared spirit of adventure and creativity in both pursuits.
Finally, Dropping Molly, follows Molly Mitchell's roller coaster journey to climb "Crank-it" one of Colorado's most dangerous routes. After a back breaking fall on the climb, Molly faces her rocky mental health and embarks on a journey of therapy, self-discovery, and growth. "Dropping Molly" is an unforgettable, heartbreaking, hilarious and heartwarming film. You will be on the edge of your seat as Molly is forced to ask herself, why do climbers risk their lives for a climb, is it worth it, and will she return to the climb that broke her back?
Please help get the word out about this gathering. Invite your neighbors, friends and family. We hope to see you there!
