The annual documentary film festival in Winona, Minnesota, featuring films and filmmakers from all around the world.

Frozen River Film Festival offers programs that engage, educate and activate viewers to become involved in the world. These programs provide a unique perspective on environmental issues, sustainable communities, adventure travel and sports, and diverse cultures while showcasing the art of documentary film. Our films often explore issues, concerns, and life’s successes that are usually not covered in the local media.

We connect our viewers with people at the heart of current events, organizations at the forefront of social change, and distinct cultures in an increasingly global community.

Mission Statement:
The Frozen River Film Festival offers documentary films and programming that engage, educate and activate our community to become involved in the world.
