Unique programming 
In addition to a wealth of narrative features, shorts, documentaries and animation, we have introduced unique categories and special programs to reflect our Mendocino values. 

Films for Our Future  
The North Coast of California has long been associated with social and environmental activism. This new category, Films for Our Future — Changing the World One Film at a Time, will focus on environmental, social justice and spiritually-themed films.

Films on the Arts  
Mendocino County has more artists per capita than any other county in California.  In acknowledgement of this creative community, the Festival expressed its commitment to the arts by establishing a special category: Films on the Arts. This category brings to the festival the life and work of outstanding artists, dancers and musicians, whose stories and lives are highlighted through the lenses of world-class filmmakers.  

Artist in Residence  
A multi-disciplinary film and arts event will be coordinated with the local Mendocino Art Center, funded by the Community Foundation of Mendocino County.

Panels & Q&A’s with Filmmakers and Special Guests  
The majority of films selected for screening are represented by their visiting directors—we hosted 40 filmmakers in our inaugural year and an extraordinary 70 in 2007. Given this rare proportion of filmmakers to regular attendees, there is ample opportunity for film-goers to interact with screenwriters, directors, producers and celebrities from across the industry.
