Honoring queer joy through the bike packing community.
Join filmmaker and community organizer, Christina Rosetti, for a short film screening of 'Dirt Pride' followed by a community conversation about belonging. The film centers queer joy and community, separating out the trauma from queer stories. It features a group of empowered queer women and gender-nonconforming people bikepacking through Washington and explores the transformative power of building queer community outside. After the short film, the filmmaker will open things up for a brief Q&A before launching into a group conversation about what it means to find belonging in community.
Christina Rosetti is a queer, Cuban-American filmmaker telling visual stories through her boutique production company, C-Rose Media. Her creative focus is on queer folx taking up space in the outdoors, specifically queer amateur athletes creating joy and community in industries and environments not designed for them. She is also a community organizer through her work at BendFilm, a non-profit dedicated to celebrating and supporting independent film and creativity here in town.
