Films:

The story of Alexa’s journey as a trans woman, navigating the toxic culture that encompasses skateboarding, and what it means to transcend fear through community.
Director – Diane Russo Cheng
Gender Outlaw, a bodysurfing story / 16’
A film about overcoming adversity and redefining inclusivity in and out of the water featuring Tyler Wilde.
Director – Peter Williams
A Mid-winter Bob / 21’
On January 6th 2023 Elsey Davis attempted to set a new women’s record for the midwinter Bob Graham Round.
Director – Hugo Petit
A Bitch of a Race / 16’
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 realised 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.
Director – Danielle Dawn DiVito
