Join us this spring in beautiful Bellingham to celebrate exceptional films directed by women around the world! CASCADIA International Women's Film Festival is excited to announce its eighth festival season. Approximately 40 films will be screened over the course of the four-day in person festival in Bellingham, WA from April 25-28. An online festival will follow CASCADIA's in-person screenings May 2-12. Festival programs are followed by a Q&A with the attending filmmakers or a panel discussion with industry speakers. CASCADIA also hosts networking and social opportunities for visiting filmmakers. 

CASCADIA is one of the few festivals of its kind, curating a program of diverse stories told by women directors from all over the world that span a host of genres -- featuring narrative, live-action, animation, documentary, and experimental films of all lengths. Since its first festival in 2017, the festival has presented the films of 220 women directors. The organization also works year-round to provide film production, exhibition, and distribution education.

CASCADIA knows that a woman’s perspective is too rarely seen in film. An art form that teaches, informs, inspires, and motivates, is missing an essential perspective on humanity when women’s voices are not heard. This problem exists internationally, but especially in Hollywood, and the festival is committed to changing this culture, by offering a venue -- and a support system -- for women to tell their stories through the medium of film.
