Look forward to an evening of inspiration with a lineup of five incredible films.
What The River Knows
2025 USA | Directed by Diego Riley, Will Buckley
For the past several years, a lost Eden drowned under Lake Powell has been re-emerging, revealing the follies of the past and a new way forward for the Colorado River. What The River Knows is a film that explores this unique inflection point in a centuries-long history. At the same time that we are met with the need to redesign our systems of water management in the West, we are presented with the opportunity to restore one of the most stunning landscapes on the planet.
The Opening Address
2024 USA | Directed by Konwanahktotha Alvera Sargent, Jess Lowe Chaverri
This film is presented by The Akwesasne Freedom School, a sovereign Mohawk immersion institution dedicated to preserving the language and culture that colonization sought to erase. The Opening Address (Ohen:ton Karihwatehkwen) is the central prayer of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois Confederacy). It expresses gratitude for life and the natural world, opening and closing all social and religious gatherings. Recited daily at sunrise, it gives thanks and acknowledgment for Mother Earth and all she provides: water, fruit, trees, birds, medicine and more.
First In, Last Out
2025 USA | Directed by Keith Malloy
When competitive swimmer from Colorado Christa Funk joined the Coast Guard, she found herself stationed on Oahu, Hawaii for five years, where she discovered the world of surf photography. Inspired by the memory of her father and his parting words, Funk pushed herself into the world’s most dangerous and crowded surf lineups, becoming one of the best surf photographers in the world, and notably, one of the few women out there.
About Damn Time
2024 USA | Directed by Dana Romanoff
In 1983, Cindell "Dellie" Dale talked her way onto her first commercial river trip through the Grand Canyon. Like many women in the industry at the time, her place was in the kitchen. But determined to push against the tide of a male-dominated river-running world, she earned her spot on the oars and became one of the Grand Canyon’s legendary dory guides. Inspired by the trailblazing women before her, Dale is now proudly passing the oars to a new generation, declaring, "It’s about damn time."
Strike - Mary Rand
2025 USA | Directed by Liam Gallagher
Follow snowboarder Mary Rand on a few strategic strike missions to some of the snowiest locales in the world. First was a couple weeks in Japan’s fabled Hakuba region for some of the deepest snow of the season. Then came a quick stint near Rand’s home in Washington for some boot packing around the Mount Baker backcountry. The final stop on the world tour was with Alaska Heliskiing to get on some of the legendary spine lines outside Haines.
