Isa described it as "the new book club but with boots and a big screen."
It is designed to provide people with a fresh way to connect to films, nature, and each other.
The first watch-and-walk event will focus on Good One, a drama that follows 17-year-old Sam on a camping trip with her dad and his best friend.
The film's themes of gender roles, emotional labour, and the concept of being "the good one alongside its strong relationship with nature, are what led to the creation of the Field Notes Film Club.
Carina said: "The idea was sparked by the film's message - the emotional weight so many women and queer people carry, especially in quiet, 'in-between' spaces like walking or camping.
"We wanted to take that idea, turn it into a connection, and bring it into the hills and woods around Glasgow.
'I hope that this can catch on beyond Glasgow.
"There are truly so many benefits to getting out in nature, in a group environment that you feel safe in and can build a community within.
'It's an opportunity to celebrate film, to connect with others, and to connect with the world around you.'
The club's first event is designed specifically for LGBTQ+ people and those of marginalised genders, offering a safe, inclusive space to explore the outdoors and reflect on resonant stories.
Participants will set off on a nature walk together after watching a screening of Good One.

Isa Rao said: "Walking in nature can be a powerful way to process film, especially one like Good One, which speaks so much through silence, gesture, and the emotional weight women and queer people often carry quietly.
"It's a different kind of conversation when your body is in motion."
Full details of this event are expected to be announced soon via Conic and participating venues.
Good One will appear in selected cinemas across the UK and Ireland, including the Glasgow Film Theatre, from Friday, May 16.

Megan Rapinoe wears Pride outfit to watch WNBA game with Sue Bird
Megan Rapinoe was pictured wearing a striking outfit to celebrate Pride Month on Friday night as she watched a WNBA game with partner Sue Bird. The former USWNT star took a seat at courtside to watch her local team - the Seattle Storm - take on the Connecticut Sun. The franchise was celebrating its Pride Night at the game and their mascot, Doppler, was dressed in an extravagant rainbow-colored jacket. As Doppler made his way over to Rapinoe, he appeared to remove the jacket and hand it over to Rapinoe for her to try on. Bird, a four-time WNBA champion and five-time Olympic champion, watched on with delight and snapped plenty of pictures. Later in the game, the couple appeared on the big screen and got a huge ovation from the crowd as the Storm ran out 97-81 winners. Pinoe is ROCKING Doppler's jacket 😍😆 — Seattle Storm (@seattlestorm) June 28, 2025 Earlier this month, Rapinoe opened up on life with her 'super gay' 2019 USA World Cup-winning team as she commemorated Pride Month with Bird. Speaking on her 'A Touch More' podcast, Bird asked Rapinoe how it felt to play soccer during pride month, which prompted her to discuss her World Cup glory from six years ago. 'Our team was super gay in 2019,' Rapinoe said. 'A lot of us were out, a lot of our fans were gay, a lot of the other players were gay. 'First and easiest thing to ensure you have is gay players on our team.' Rapinoe was one of five players who had come out alongside their coach, Jill Ellis, Her recent comments echo what Rapinoe said at the time when the USA went on to win a second straight World Cup title. After USA beat France in the quarterfinals, Rapinoe said: 'Go gays! 'You can't win a championship without gays on your team - it's never been done before, ever. That's science, right there! 'For me, to be gay and fabulous, during Pride month at the World Cup, is nice.' Rapinoe also underlined her outspoken reputation at that tournament as she took shots at president Donald Trump during his first term in office. She said she is 'not going to the f***ing White House' if the US won the tournament due to her disdain for Trump and urged her teammates to consider being associated with him. 'I stand by the comments that I made about not wanting to go to the White House with exception of the expletive,' Rapinoe said during the tournament. 'Considering how much time and effort and pride we take in the platform we have, using it for good and leaving the game in a better place and hopefully the world in a better place, I don't think I would want to go. 'I would encourage my teammates to think hard about lending that platform or having that co-opted by an administration that doesn't feel the same way and doesn't fight for the same things we fight for.' Trump responded by saying on X: 'I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women's Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! 'We haven't yet invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. 'Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!'

Lewis Capaldi's health condition that triggered stage hiatus as singer makes Glastonbury return
Singer was diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome just a few months before announcing he would be stepping away from music to focus on his mental and physical health Lewis Capaldi made a rousing comeback at Glastonbury with a surprise set on Friday afternoon. The singer even joked that it was the "worst kept secret" as he delighted fans with his afternoon appearance on the Pyramid stage during a time slot mysteriously marked as TBA. But for Capaldi and his admirers, the performance symbolised more than a surprise. Two years ago, the Glasgow-born artist suffered a severe Tourette's episode live on the same stage. The moment unfolded midway through his Grammy-nominated hit 'Someone You Loved', when Capaldi was suddenly gripped by an intense tic attack – involuntary twitches affecting his head, shoulders, arms, and legs, which are characteristic of Tourette's syndrome. As he valiantly tried to push forward with the show, his tics wrenching the mic away, Capaldi was visibly shaken and upset. Footage capturing this raw moment circulated online, touching hearts worldwide as the audience pitched in with the lyrics whenever Capaldi struggled. In the aftermath, the singer took to Instagram to reveal his temporary departure from performing, citing his health and recent diagnosis of Tourette's, which had occurred less than a year before. Characterised as a neurological condition resulting in uncontrollable sounds or movements, known as tics, Tourette's currently has no cure; nevertheless, treatments are available to help individuals manage their symptoms and tic attacks according to the NHS. Common vocal tics are behaviours such as whistling, sniffing, emitting animal noises, repeating phrases, and in rarer cases, cursing. Meanwhile, movement tics can compel someone to roll their eyes, blink excessively, shrug, jump or exhibit unpredictable, spasmodic movements. These tics can be set off by intense emotions like stress or exhilaration. While people often receive a diagnosis before becoming teenagers, Lewis did not learn about his condition until he was 25, which happened in September 2022. Shortly after the diagnosis, on an appearance of the Jonathan Ross Show, the singer shared that he felt compelled to go public because "people think I am on cocaine (because) I twitch a lot and I'm in showbusiness so I can understand (why) but I have Tourette's." Lewis remarked: "I said it on an Instagram Live, I didn't expect it to be a big thing but people picked it up and now I am the poster boy for Tourette's which I'll take, I'll gladly accept." Discussing his initial fears before the diagnosis, Lewis said: "I thought I had a degenerative disease. So to be told I have Tourette's was, as you can imagine, quite the relief." To coincide with his sensational comeback at Glastonbury, Lewis has debuted a new tune named 'Survive'. Detailing his determination to persist in spite of the challenges brought on by his health. When performing Friday, the artist touched on the true sentiment behind his lyrics and disclosed how he coped during his hiatus, saying according to The Metro: "The last two years haven't been the best for me, it's been difficult at times. "I wanted to write a song that was about overcoming that stuff and getting over the other side of it. This has been my goal, to get back here doing this. So, this is the song about that."
