For the third annual Grand Rapids Feminist Film Fest (GRFFF), the organizers will be offering so much more than just a chance to screen more than 40 short films as a part of their annual event at Wealthy Theatre.
This year, the upgrades include more seminars and workshops devoted to all things cinema -- and this year they will be programming two blocks of films that are free of triggers that could set off children. This is a huge upgrade for families who want to attend but might have concerns about the content of some of the films being screened this year. These blocks of films can be located on their schedule and fall earlier in the day, with evenings being reserved for more adult themed programming.
This year’s programming came about after the festival committee screened hundreds of submissions from all over the world, including France, Thailand, Sweden, Korea, Germany, and the United States. You can see a complete list and synopsis of all the films screening this year
at the GRFFF website.
All films at the GRFFF are 20 minutes or less in length and and will be screened in Wealthy Theatre’s main auditorium, with the Dirk Koning Micro-Cinema and the Annex reserved for the many panels and workshops that include topics like “Dissecting Feminist Films,” “Gender Performance: CIS Playing LGBTQ,” and my favorite, “Analyzing Beyonce's Lemonade: black feminism and pop music” with Breannah Alexander, founder of women reVamped. For all the workshop and panels, visit

All of the films and events at the GRFFF are free, and this is in part due to the generous sponsorship of our area organizations and businesses.
