Set in the heart of California wine country, the highly anticipated Healdsburg International Short Film Festival (HISFF) returns this September for its 4th year, promising another weekend of unforgettable cinema, parties, and a red carpet opening night. This three-day festival runs from September 26th through September 28th. Organized in collaboration with the Healdsburg Center for the Arts (HCA), HISFF 2025 coincides with HCA’s Festival of the Arts in the Healdsburg Plaza, creating a vibrant, art-filled weekend.
HISFF 2025 kicks off with a lively red-carpet arrival and photo op, followed by an exclusive opening night party for filmmakers, sponsors, and VIPs. Festivities continue with multiple screening sessions, a Saturday night party, and a filmmaker breakfast, culminating in an awards ceremony on Sunday night.
Our panel of notable judges from the entertainment industry makes the HISFF an attraction for new and veteran filmmakers alike — people like Ed Begley, Jr., Laraine Newman, Tom Waits, and so many more. Several judges are attending the festival this year, including actor Ed Begley, Jr., who will make a book-signing appearance at the Raven on Saturday, September 27th. The festival culminates with screenings and award ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 28th.
