The Women of Color Film Festival was founded in 1991, organized by graduate students at the University of California at Santa Cruz.[1]
To date it has shown close to 300 films by women of color as well as hosted workshops and panel discussions with filmmakers, artists, and activists. Past festival participants have included Julie Dash, Cheryl Dunye, Lourdes Portillo, Alma Lopez, and Osa Hidalgo de la Riva.[citation needed]
The festival's programming practice has historically avoided judging films as "good" or "bad", and included work by self-taught filmmakers and students.[1] The emphasis is on showing a range of perspectives.[1] The organizers have experimented with screening films in a variety of spaces such as dining halls, gymnasiums, outdoor courtyards, and off-campus community centers.[1]
