The South Fork FilmFest celebrates the adrenaline-fueled world of whitewater paddlesports, as well as the quieter side of scenic river recreation. We seek short films by river enthusiast/filmakers that offer unique locales and perspectives.

The 2018 FilmFest will be held on the banks of the beautiful South Fork American River running through Coloma, CA on June 2 at the James Marshall Gold Discovery Park.

The event will run during high season for rafting and kayaking on the river and we expect a full house of all ages that enjoy summer recreation on the American River.
