One film in WAFT is "Beyond the Known": What does adventure mean? For Sami Sauri, a multisport athlete and filmmaker, it’s movement and shared experience.

In collaboration with Assos and Mammut, Sami leads a cycling expedition across Turkey with four women. Strangers from different backgrounds, united by their love for riding. Neza from Rwanda dreams of becoming a coach. Melina juggles a full-time role at Mammut with a passion for gravel and road cycling. Denisa is quiet yet fearless, most at home in nature. Lena is a climber and photographer who captures the soul of the wild.

Together they ride through raw landscapes and remote villages, facing obstacles, falls, and unexpected moments that turn strangers into a team. More than a sporting challenge, this journey becomes a story of connection, resilience, and rediscovery. It’s proof that the best adventures are the ones we share.

Join us for a local hike at 4pm led by community member Sue Radway, a 6pm Social Hour at The Gem that includes a Local Women's Adventure Slide Show and the 2026 Women's Adventure Film Tour at 7pm.
