Wine Country Film Festival 2009 Special Events

Imagine yourself in California's world famous vacation spot!

Film Buffs
Over 100 films from around the world (in addition to our several celestial film nights) screen at special venues throughout Napa and Sonoma Valleys. The Napa Sonoma Wine Country Film Festival stands for quality films that engage, inspire and deepen our common humanity. Many of the films are simply unavailable elsewhere. Our tradition of showcasing remarkable international cinema continues, providing a familiar environment which dedicated filmfestgoers find comforting. Our program of features, docs, shorts and animation promises to be the strongest slate ever.

See a little of this, a little of that or zero in on one or more of our festival's theme programs which include:

World Cinema
EcoCinema (eco-friendly films about people and the planet)
American Independent Films
Arts in Film
Music in Film
Food on Film
Cinema of Conscience (films about social and political issues) and a few surprise Hollywood premieres!
