Join Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) as we host the Representation Matters: Voices of Adventure Film Festival. The film program will feature stories about diversity in the outdoors. The festival will take place in person on Saturday September 30 at Martial Cottle Park in San Jose starting at 6:00pm.

The films are selected from the Wild & Scenic Film Festival library, and highlight stories about people with diverse experiences and identities in the outdoors. Film themes include recreation, activism, community, accessibility, finding belonging, and more!
