5Point Adventure Film Festival is dedicated to sharing stories of adventure that have the power to ignite positive social and environmental change in our local communities and around the globe. Our five founding principles - respect, commitment, humility, purpose, and balance - guide our curating process and festival experience.
As we look to the future and reevaluate what adventure means and how to make it more accessible, we’re searching for diverse stories and storytellers that help expand our understanding of our collective connection to the outdoors. Our goal is to go beyond one-dimensional ideas of adventure and instead celebrate the unique ways our lives are all shaped and enhanced by the natural world around us.
Submissions for our 2021 festival year will open on December 8, 2020. For questions, comments and ideas, please contact our Head of Programming, Charlie Turnbull, at charlie@5pointfilm.org

-AL BORDE International Transfeminist Film Festival is a platform for exhibition, getting together, and for Artivist, sexual-dissident, communal, and Transfeminist Trans-formation. It was born from the desire and urgency to circulate and provoke narratives and audiovisual pedagogies that create conditions of visibility for existences that surpass the limits of what is possible.
Our purpose is to contribute to make filmmaking a space of rebellion, freedom, healing, meeting, and love, so that we who live in the borders of gender, sexuality, corporal normativity and feminisms can look at and narrate ourselves in our own terms, uniting our diverse fights.
In our first edition in 2021 we decided that the festival would be biannual, hybrid (virtual and presential) and itinerant. This is why in 2023 we are carrying out our second edition named Misbehaved Gazes, where the focus will be on audiovisuals that offend, disturb, scandalize and corrupt the cis-tem. Gazes incarnated in bodies that have violently experimented the regime imposed by the heteropatriarchal, colonial, capitalist, racist, speciesist, binary order, expert in the production of images and cinematographic stories to sustain its hegemony. We are especially interested in underrepresented stories inside of LGBTIQ+, feminist, and communal film spaces.
