Public Lands Film Festival – Minneapolis
Hosted by the Wild Rivers Conservancy, this night of film aims to inspire outdoor recreation and a love for nature.
America’s public lands are more than forests, rivers, and mountains—they are places where people find peace, adventure, inspiration, and a connection to something larger than themselves. Through a curated collection of short films from independent filmmakers, the Public Lands Film Festival celebrates the breathtaking beauty, rich diversity, and enduring importance of these special places. Each film was chosen for its ability to inform, inspire, and remind audiences that when people come together around the places they love, extraordinary things happen.

The Venue
Surly Brewing
Minneapolis, MN
Their massive space is a destination for locals and travelers alike. It’s neighborhood-y enough for an after-work beer, and big enough for a thousand of your closest friends to eat and drink in the Beer Hall, Beer Garden, and Surly Pizza on any given Thursday. Think of it as a community gathering space, only our community is the entire Upper Midwest and beyond.
