Night of Stoke, part of Outdoor Retailer Summer Market, celebrates the stories of individuals who turn passion into action and unites the outdoor industry and recreationists to inspire activism.

This summer’s event will focus on the theme “Our Stories, Our Lands,” highlighting the ongoing importance of protecting and preserving public lands. Night of Stoke is open to the public and will showcase some of the outdoor industry’s most impactful adventure films programmed by 5Point Film, along with a lineup of industry experts and personalities, including filmmakers and film subjects.

“We are excited to include Night of Stoke in our summer line-up,” said Jennifer Holcomb, Senior Marketing Director for Outdoor Retailer.

“Coming together to listen to the storytellers, adventurers and people all making such an incredibly positive impact is what makes this industry so inspiring. Night of Stoke is an opportunity, when the entire industry is together for just a few days, to celebrate the people who evoke the pursuit of adventure in all of us.”

This summer’s Night of Stoke film program, hosted by Luis Benitez, director of the Outdoor Recreation Industry Office for the State of Colorado, and 5Point emcee, Paddy O’Connell, will include: “Beyond the Horizon,” “The Mirnavator,” and “The Frenchy,” along with a special film tribute to legendary environmental activist Katie Lee, who passed away in 2017.

Among the filmmaker guests and industry experts scheduled to attend are: Mirna Valerio, star of the film “The Mirnavator;” Carbondale, Colo., filmmaker and photographer, Michelle Smith, alongside the subject of her film “The Frenchy,” Jacques Houot; alongside many other guests.

5Point Film Festival was founded in 2008 by Julie Kennedy, former Climbing Magazine owner, and Yvon Chouinard, founder of outdoor brand Patagonia. The experience offers audiences a taste of adventure through the lens, with a compelling program of short films, panel discussions and high-profile special guests as part of the show.

“When it came to the summer version of Night of Stoke, the choice of curator was clear. 5Point Film Festival needed to be our summer platform,” said Benitez.

“Their five pillars, focusing on purpose, commitment, respect, humility and balance help us define the why behind Night of Stoke.”

5Point aims to take its audience on a trip to places they may have never been, challenge their stereotypes, educate them about public lands and have them walk away from the show more enriched and as an informed steward of their environment. 5Point Film is built on five guiding principles: respect, commitment, humility, purpose and balance. 5Point believes these same principles also form the foundation for individuals who lead lives of adventure and connect all who share an elemental passion to explore and expand boundaries.
