Through an annual film festival BHRFF supports independent filmmakers, fosters dialogue and promotes action. For eighteen years, volunteer committee members have selected scores of insightful and moving films they hope will encourage the community to explore and engage with critical issues. Films are followed by facilitated discussion, some led by the filmmakers themselves.
We have acquired most of our
festival films for continuous availability in the community. They are
now in the Bellingham Public Library (BPL) or Wilson Library at Western
Washington University (WWU). Click on the "Film Archive"
tab above to find a full list of films and which library they are in,
as well as organizations you can contact to take action on the issues
presented in the films.
