For 35 years, Hedgebrook has lifted up the voices of women authoring change on the page, on the screen, and on the stage. If you love films written, directed and/or produced by talented women with a passion for visual storytelling, you won’t want to miss this event!


This year, the Hedgebrook Filmmakers’ Showcase features a selection of shorts and features, both documentary and fiction, from independent films to the making of a Hollywood hit, with a filmmaker discussion following each film. Expand your mind through their storytelling, and learn what inspired them to create and share these films. Grab your favorite snack, gather your favorite people, and come support the four featured filmmakers!


You can watch in person at NWFF on opening day, May 19, or closing night at WICA on June 3, or virtually from May 20 – June 2. People aged 13+ are all welcome to enjoy the showcase.


Presented in partnership with the CineStory Foundation, Northwest Film Forum and Whidbey Island Center for the Arts.

Choreographer/dancer Ayodele Casel (named one of the top breakout stars of the year by The New York Times just before the pandemic) creates work inspired by the history of Black tap dancers who came before her. This film is part of the Half the History series on under-told stories of diverse women in US history.
