Santa Cruz Film Festival

Since 2002, the Santa Cruz Film Festival is dedicated to supporting the artists of today and the filmmakers of tomorrow. We offer unique venues for filmmakers to present their individual brand of independent storytelling to a growing and enthusiastic audience.

Now, in year 7, the 2008 Santa Cruz Film Festival will again feature directors, educational forums, celebrations and innovative filmmaking to the community.
