The Santa Cruz Film Festivals

The Santa Cruz Film Festival is an artist-driven, filmmaker-forward celebration of independent cinema that champions bold, diverse voices and novel filmmaking from around the world. Rooted in the inexhaustible creative spirit of Santa Cruz, SCFF amplifies emerging filmmakers and underrepresented storytellers through a community-driven platform. Your donation fuels year-round educational programs, filmmaker support, and initiatives that position Santa Cruz as a premiere hub for socially conscious, creatively daring cinema. Your support helps cultivate a thriving cultural ecosystem where innovative artists find support, diverse stories find screens, and Santa Cruz illuminates the path forward for crucial filmmaking on the Central Coast.
