Wild & Scenic Film Festival 2025 - Call for Submissions
The Wild & Scenic Film Festival (WSFF), produced by the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL), has announced their call for film submissions for their 23rd annual event, to take place Feb. 13-23, 2025, in Grass Valley-Nevada City Cultural District.
The 23rd annual festival welcomes the submission of shorts and features about nature, community activism, conservation, intentional adventure, health, water, energy, climate change, wildlife, environmental justice, food, and farming. While all relevant film submissions are welcomed, WSFF always appreciates when there are ties to the annual theme, which, in 2025, will be “Wild at Heart.”
