Watsonville Film Festival spotlights women in film and community
Since 2012, the Watsonville Film Festival (WFF) has made it a point to celebrate and uplift women behind, and in front of, the camera. In 2021, WFF will continue this tradition, presenting a program where the majority of films are directed by women and/or focused on women. This year, the Festival is also partnering with the Watsonville International Women’s Day Coalition to celebrate local women who are challenging the status quo during a special online event Monday, March 8 at 7pm.
