Our Story
Launched in January 2006, the Frozen River Film Festival (FRFF) is a vibrant cultural event in Winona, Minnesota, born from a collaboration between Theatre du Mississippi, Winona State University, and the Winona Convention & Visitors Bureau. Over the years, FRFF has built strong partnerships with filmmakers worldwide, showcasing the power of independent documentary films. Achieving its own 501(c)(3) status in August 2015, FRFF now operates with a dedicated team of staff, interns, and volunteers, all committed to enriching the community through film.
