Waterfront Film Festival receives art grants


Good news, film lovers! The Waterfront Film Festival (WFF), now in its 12th year, has received two grants totaling $17,500 in funding toward organization and presentation of events. The festival will continue to celebrate independent film and filmmakers June 10-13 in downtown Saugatuck.

The Michigan Council for the Arts and Cultural Affairs presented the WFF with a $7,500 to continue creative and cultural activity in Michigan. In addition to this grant, the WFF also received a $10,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in order to support excellence in the arts.

This year, thousands of people will join independent filmmakers to view more than 70 independent films and shorts at four unique venues around Saugatuck. Participants will also have the opportunity to attend interactive seminars.
