Whistler Film Festival Talent Talk: Pioneers of Her Time

This Talent Talk brings together modern adventurers and mountaineers who have uncovered the lives and expeditions of these pioneering women, researching their achievements and retracing their steps in honor of their courage and resilience. Through this journey, they’ve discovered parallels between the challenges faced then and now, sparking deep conversations about identity, perseverance, and the enduring impact of these historical figures.

Join us as we explore what it means to carry the legacy of these early trailblazers into the present, examine the threads that connect their stories to contemporary explorations, and reflect on how their boldness inspires new generations to redefine adventure on their own terms. This is more than a history lesson—it’s a celebration of identity, resilience, and the power of stories to bridge generations.

This panel will feature Trixie Pacis, Meghan J. Ward, and Annette Wahl, with Meghan and Annette joining virtually!
