A Bitch of a Race World Premiere

Local filmmakers Danielle (she/they) & Aubrey (she/her) of Early Dawn Productions will premiere A Bitch of a Race documentary highlighting the famous Pittsburgh alleycat race – The Frigid Bitch.

Cyclist Anna Lena Kempen gave life to the idea for The Frigid Bitch Race over 9 years ago because there wasn’t a space for her in the male-dominated cycling field. She wanted to create an inclusive space for women (and quickly realized the importance of including all underrepresented genders). The race would be harder, longer, colder and more terrible and awesome than other races, and it would be just for us.

No Man’s Land Film Festival

No Man’s Land Film Festival is the first-ever adventure film festival that exclusively features female athletes while showcasing work by both male and female filmmakers. NMLFF meets a need and desire to highlight and connect women in pursuit of the radical.

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.
