About | Sheboygan Film Festival

- About SFF -

The Sheboygan Film Festival is an annual event dedicated to sharing the joys of film and empowering creative communities in Sheboygan and the greater Midwest. Sheboygan Film Festival supports new and established filmmakers from around the world through curated public screenings of their films, networking opportunities, and community arts experiences. We empower our communities by kindling a love of film and the sense of wonder created through the shared experience of film-going. By celebrating these experiences with new and diverse work, Sheboygan Film Festival invites new opportunities for connection and furthers Sheboygan’s position as a creative hub.

Our festival takes place in multiple venues across Sheboygan including the Stefanie H. Weill Center, John Michael Kohler Arts Center, Paradigm Coffee & Music, Jake's Cafe, and many more beloved establishments. We also offer a robust Children's program in partnership with Above & Beyond Children's Museum, Mead Public Library, and Mini Mocha Cafe. In 2025, we screened over 80 films from around the world and offered filmmaking workshops and panels over the course of a long weekend.

Join us in 2026 for the 2nd Annual Sheboygan Film Festival happening October 1-4 in Sheboygan.
