CASCADIA is a multi-day annual curated film festival celebrating exceptional films directed by women from around the world. Our 2022 festival is scheduled online and live May 12-15. The festival spans all film genres: narrative, live-action, animation, documentary, and experimental films of all lengths. We are based in Bellingham, WA, a city of approximately 83,000 people on the shores of Puget Sound. It’s located about halfway between the film centers of Seattle, WA, and Vancouver, BC. The city enjoys strong local and regional support for the arts. It is also a destination for hikers, kayakers, climbers, sailors and other outdoor enthusiasts. Increasingly, filmmakers, too, are finding Bellingham, attracted to its proximity to urban and rural environments, as well as the ocean, lakes, rivers and mountains. It is also home to Western Washington University, with a 15,000 undergraduates and graduate enrollment, including the well regarded College of Fine and Performing Arts. CASCADIA is an IRS-registered non profit 501(c )(3) organization.
