Waterfront Film Festival Saugatuck, MI

For more than a decade the Waterfront Film Festival, held in June each year, has attracted people from all over the world to Saugatuck, Mi. Recently, Screen Actors Guild Magazine ranked Waterfront Film Festival third in the top five "favorite" film festivals in the world...just behind Sundance and Cannes.

In what has quickly become a tradition, the idyllic resort village of Saugatuck comes alive each June with filmgoers, actors, producers and directors sharing the excitement as outstanding independent films from all over the United States are screened in casual, intimate settings. Entertainment professionals from Los Angeles, New York and Michigan created the Waterfront Film Festival in 1999 to provide a "middle coast" venue for independent filmmakers eager to show their work to sophisticated audiences.

The festival has succeeded with growing support and recognition each year, and enthusiastic reviews from attendees. Many films debuted here have gone on to achieve national acclaim such as Open Waters, March of the Penguins, Murderball, Man on a Wire and Napoleon Dynamite. We invite you to participate!
