2023 SFFILM Festival Press Accreditation

Press accreditation for the 2023 San Francisco International Film Festival (also known as SFFILM Festival) opens February 24, 2023. The window for 2023 SFFILM Festival Press Accreditation Applications will close at 5PM PT on Friday, March 24.

If you would like to be considered, please click here to submit a Press Accreditation Application. All media—journalists, critics, photographers, and content creators—including those who have received accreditation in the past, are required to fill out a new application. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by email on Monday, March 27. The SFFILM Press Office grants press accreditation to a limited number of media each year. Please note that press accreditation is necessary in order to request interviews and access screeners.
 
If accreditation is granted, benefits include:

  • Complimentary tickets to public screenings. (Restrictions apply; more information will be provided if your accreditation is approved.)
  • Access to online screeners for select films.
  • Access to SFFILM Festival lounge and interview spaces.

Whether you receive accreditation or not, we encourage you to attend our press conference for the public announcement of the 2023 San Francisco International Film Festival lineup on Wednesday, March 22, 2023 10 am PT at FilmHouse in our SoMa office at 455 9th Street.
