Whidbey Island Film Festival announces short film competition

LANGLEY, WA - Whidbey Island Film Festival, a program of Whidbey Island Center for the Arts (WICA), is proud to launch its inaugural season with “Femme Fatales of Film Noir” -- a two-day celebration of the bold, brash, and smart actresses that lit up movie screens in post-war America and offered generations of women an alternative model of femininity.

Filmmakers are invited to submit Noir-inspired short films (5 mins or less) to the WIFF ShortsFest.

Selected films will screen before the feature presentations and be eligible to receive jury-selected awards and prizes.
