Our emcee shows each sponsor’s slide, video, or logo according to their sponsorship level and speaks about their business offerings. The films are shown, then the event ends with the basket drawings and additional acknowledgment of our sponsors. Promotional items from our Oscar-level sponsors are distributed to all attendees as they leave the auditorium.
The 2025 Films
The short films, appropriate for audiences over the age of 13, include a mix of drama, comedy, documentary, and animation. Total viewing time is ~1.5 hours. We are confident our audience will be pleased with this year’s film selections.
Attendees
The Esri Auditorium can hold up to 340 guests. Most of the attendees are women, though men are welcome and do enjoy the event. We anticipate selling out the event again this year.
FilmFest Fundraising
Film Fest AAUW Redlands proceeds benefit women and girls of the Inland Empire through the AAUW Redlands Branch Mission Fund.
Proceeds are used for our Speech Trek competition, high school scholarships, National Conference for College Women Student Leaders scholarships, Nancy Yowell Memorial Scholarships for women returning to college after an interruption, voting registration activities, and outreach to local colleges and universities.
AAUW Redlands is run by volunteers, therefore 100% of the FilmFest proceeds goes into the Mission Fund.
