2022 SFFILM Festival

Founded in 1957, the San Francisco International Film Festival (SFFILM Festival) is the longest-running film festival in the Americas. The 65th edition ran April 21–May 1, 2022. The 11 day event featured a range of marquee premieres, international competitions, compelling documentaries, short and mid-length programs, live music performances, and dazzling red carpet events. The SFFILM Festival is deeply rooted in the culture and process of film appreciation—film as an art form and as a meaningful agent for social change—and is an important showcase for the most searching and innovative films from around the globe.
