To kick off their 15th anniversary, Inland Woods + Trails brings you the World Trails Film Festival — a collection of short films about trail building around the world, from the Pamirs to the Pacific, the Himalayas to the hills of the UK, — and the passionate people who walk, bike, run, and build the trails that connect them. Expect big views, bigger heart, and plenty of surprises (including dirt crust you didn’t know you’d care about).
Join us for a social hour at 5 pm, with a silent raffle and awarding of the Piney Scavenger Hunt prize, followed by 90 minutes of short documentary films with spectacular scenery and inspirational stories.

Trails Film is a global, advocacy film festival created by and for trail-loving communities. Their film programs celebrate the diversity of reasons of why trails matter, how they weave into all of our lives and the environment, and the stories of the communities that enjoy trails.
