Saugatuck Film Fest promises an exploration of the frontier of filmmaking against the backdrop of Michigan’s most beautiful arts destination.
The SFF closes out the Art Coast’s summer with an artistic flourish celebrating independent film, and offers patrons of the arts a sendoff to the season’s creativity.
Join us this September as we gather to recognize, promote, and celebrate independent filmmakers; continue to elevate Saugatuck as a premier arts destination; and have a good time doing it.
The 2026 fest takes place on Saturday October 3rd, at the historic Saugatuck Women’s Club downtown Saugatuck and the American Legion.
Events are to include screenings of short and feature length films submissions, a prize winning feature film, artist Q&A, and awards presentation.
Selections will be based entirely on artistic and technical merit, as decided by our panel of judges and members.
