Art as Resistance 14th Annual Watsonville Film Festival

14th Annual Watsonville Film Festival Art as Resistance
March 12–21
This year, we uphold that film and storytelling are not only art forms, but vital forces for truth, representation, and cultural resistance.
At a time when communities of color are too often silenced or misrepresented, cinema becomes a powerful tool to reclaim agency, share our own stories, and inspire positive change.
For fourteen years, the Watsonville Film Festival has been more than a series of screenings — it is a cultural movement, uplifting Latine, Indigenous, and underrepresented filmmakers and voices while creating space for audiences to connect, reflect, and take social action.
Join us this March as we showcase a selection of films that honor resiliency, creativity, and dignity, sparking conversation and celebrating the power of community through the arts.
