Hey, Big Lebowski fans! Did you know that one of the Dude’s (aka, Jeff Bridges) passions is to protect the Yellowstone grizzly? So, in honor of 399, don your bowling shirt or favorite bathrobe and come watch one of your favorite movies for a great cause! Save the Yellowstone Grizzlies, Dude! Costumes encouraged. Hope to see you there! The Griz Abides, Can We?

Some more info: This event is part of a campaign called The Griz Abides, created by the Montana-based nonprofit Save the Yellowstone Grizzly (STYG), which is supported by Jeff Bridges. STYG and Wyoming Wildlife Advocates and are cohosting the event. 100% of profits will be directed toward grizzly bear protection efforts. Specifically to:
• JH Bear Solutions, which has distributed over 1,300 bear-resistant trash cans and continues to work on community education and conflict prevention.
• Advocacy for Grizzly Bear Protection, through coalition-based advocacy (bearsbelong.com) to maintain Endangered Species Act protections and push for a stronger recovery plan across the Northern Rockies.

We are excited to invite you to a powerful night of independent film and conversation. Join us for a special one-night-only screening of East of Wall, followed by a live Q&A with the film’s director, Kate Beecroft.

East of Wall follows Tabatha, a rebellious young horse trainer in the Badlands, as she struggles with financial instability and past grief while offering refuge to a group of wayward teens. With poetic restraint and striking visual storytelling, the film explores resilience, vulnerability, and the quiet power of chosen family.

We’re thrilled to bring this genre-bending debut feature to Jackson Hole and to welcome director Kate Beecroft for a live conversation following the screening.

Join African People & Wildlife (APW) for a special screening of "Sentinels of Engaruka," a new 30-minute nature documentary film exploring how Indigenous communities in northern Tanzania are working to live in balance with wildlife and manage habitat in one of the most rugged and beautiful landscapes on Earth.

Directed by Tanzanian filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Hans Cosmas Ngoteya, the story invites reflection on the shared challenges of coexistence and corridor conservation—issues that resonate across Africa as well as the American West.

A Q&A will follow the film with both Hans and APW Co-founder/CEO Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld.

This public event is made possible thanks to partnership with the National Museum of Wildlife Art, whose mission is to impart knowledge and generate wonder through art and education.
