Opening Night Gala Honoring Filmmakers

Online Festival
The Online Festival will run from October 28-November 3 at fhff.org Tickets to view all of the features, short films, and the Young Filmmakers Showcase cost only $15! Most films from the In-Theatre Festival, plus several additional ones showing online only will be included. If you want to see documentaries you missed while attending In-Theatre, this is a great way to see some of the ones you missed.
Our 2024 festival promises to be an extraordinary celebration of impactful filmmaking, featuring a diverse array of documentaries that inform, inspire, and ignite change. Whether you join us in the picturesque setting of Friday Harbor or tune in from anywhere worldwide, you’ll have access to thought-provoking films, engaging Q&A sessions with attending filmmakers, and a community of fellow film enthusiasts.
Volunteer Opportunities
Without the committed help of many, many film-loving volunteers, there would be no festival. Your time and energy make all the difference! How much time jobs require varies from a few hours to a few days in October. Help is needed working in the FHFF Office, at the Gala, and at all film venues.
