Every year, we come together as an outdoor-loving family to get inspired and motivated. Intimate yet inclusive, the laid back vibe of our festival is a direct reflection of its birthplace, the Carbondale community. Founded in 2007 by Julie Kennedy, the 5point Adventure Film Festival showcases curated, soulful outdoor films, art, and performances—all shown in one common space. Everyone watches together, bonded in a shared emotional experience and returns home feeling full of motivation, creativity and perspective.
