"Ravenna Press and CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival, in a unique collaboration, asked poets to create new works – poems, prose poems, short poetic essays, or other art – in response to the films shown at the 2025 Festival. STILLS is dazzling testimony to the power of film to inspire and transform, and indeed to the very wonder – on screen or on page – of art-making." - Sati Mookherjee

CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival is a Bellingham, Washington-based festival dedicated to discovering, developing and showcasing emergent and expert women filmmakers and promoting the Pacific Northwest as a destination for film production and filmgoing audiences.

Our annual film festival and cultural and educational programs throughout the year champion the arts, community and diverse perspectives.

Stories told by women have the power to entertain, enlighten and inspire. CASCADIA International Women’s Film Festival brings international cinema, artists, filmmakers and moviegoers together – building community locally and within the film industry nationally and worldwide – in celebration of the transformative power of women’s filmmaking.

“STILLS conjures the profoundly communal experience of the dark theater–bodies in proximity, voices hushed . . . in the glow of this book, we are multiplied.” -Stefania Heim
