The Wasaga Film Festival

WFF Vision

"Bringing the World to Wasaga Beach through a shared passion for film and the power of storytelling."

WFF Mission

The Wasaga Film Festival Committee is an organization dedicated to the discovery and development of storytellers, artists and audiences. Through its programs, the organization seeks to inspire and encourage people to tell their stories using the media of film and create events that share these stories within our community and beyond.

WFF Goals

To build a unique film festival platform that fosters creativity and innovation as a channel for people to tell their story through all the natural human senses.
To promote Wasaga Beach as the focal point for arts and cultural activity in the Southern Georgian Bay area and a desirable place to live, work and play.
To engage Wasaga Beach Businesses in developing their own business as they help build the Wasaga Beach Short Film Festival to be bigger and better year over year.
To create film festival events that will bolster the tourism shoulder season in Wasaga Beach and serve as a medium to cross promote other year round events and attractions that support our community.
To help create access to independent voices and new stories within our Southern Georgian Bay communities and help enrich them through our connection with all other festival entrants and partners.
To help grow an independent film community and foster collaboration for the film industry in Southern Georgian Bay.
