Every year, the Festival presents documentaries, short films and films that are divided into Official Selection, Information Section, Premium Operas, among others. In addition, actors, directors and personalities that participate in different forums and activities of cultural and cinematographic interest are invited. Some of the artists and personalities that have visited us in the past years are: Paco León, Pablo Trapero, Martina Gusmán, Johnny Pacheco, Marlon Moreno, Manolo Cardona, Frank Perozo, Marianela Sinisterra, Jorge Alberti, Jacobo Morales, Denise Quiñones and Mirta Ibarra, among others.
The films that make up the Official Selection participate in several awards such as: Audience Award, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Film and Best Director. To achieve a fair selection, 5 members of the Jury are chosen, composed of people related to the film industry and with a great willingness to evaluate each of these films in an objective and very professional manner.
The goal of each year is to surpass the previous year and continue offering an artistic space where variety and quality predominate in each piece that is exhibited.

The Grand Rapids Feminist Film Festival (GRFFF) is celebration dedicated to elevating voices and showcasing talent from historically underrepresented groups in mainstream media.
Our mission is to:
● Bring awareness to the lack of diverse representation in front of and behind the camera
● Inspire and empower media creators of underrepresented and marginalized groups to engage in filmmaking as a feminist act
● Examine media through the intersecting lenses of gender, sexuality, race, ability, class, age, etc.
● Cultivate a welcoming safe space that fosters cross-cultural understanding
Now in its sixth year, the GRFFF was originally the brainchild of independent publisher The Bandit Zine as a film version of their magazine. What started as a small evening showcase has now grown into an all-day festival that includes interactive workshops and panels, performances by local artists, and films screened from around the world.
This year, the festival will be held at Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids. We'll be hosting speakers, a drag show and upwards of 30 short films
We’re excited to see the fest grow even more this year, and are so happy to be a part of the ever-evolving Grand Rapids feminist community.
GRFFF is run entirely by volunteers and is made possible through community partnerships and sponsors.
