Our work

For 13 years, we have worked to shift disempowering narratives and nurture a filmmaking ecosystem in Watsonville and our Monterey Bay region.
In 2012 Watsonville-based filmmakers, educators and activists came together to present empowering narratives about our community.

Our Vision

Cine latino - Here To Stay - WFF — Since then, the Watsonville Film Festival has developed from a grassroots collective into a non-profit arts organization offering dynamic year-round programming.

Past Film Festivals

Traditions dia de muertos — Cine & Cultura
