FH Film Festival launches Film Society to help ensure future events

More than 150 volunteers and 63 businesses and organizations helped make the second annual Friday Harbor Film Festival a success.
Throughout the weekend in November 2014, over 3000 islanders and visitors viewed an exciting selection of 30 full-length and 12 short films all in some way related to the Pacific Rim. This was a 55 percent increase in attendance over the 2013 inaugural year.
To help ensure the success of the 2015 Friday Harbor Film Festival, Pacific Islands Research Institute has launched the Friday Harbor Film Festival Society.
The purpose of the FHFF Film Society is to give individuals who believe the festival is an asset to the community, an opportunity to support the event so it continues into the future.
Benefits of Society membership range from ticket discounts to all access passes. Producer and Founder level donors are entitled to attend receptions with the filmmakers and participate in private whale watching charters.
Plans are already underway for this year’s festival scheduled for Nov. 6-8, 2015. The event will feature films about island cultures, marine ecology, environmental issues, great adventures and those who live and work near the world’s largest ocean.
