SUMMARY:A Child of My Own
DESCRIPTION:Based on a true story\, A Child of My Own follows a woman so desperate to become a mother that she steals an infant. Director Maite Alberdi returns with a bold\, inventive documentary that fuses dramatized sequences and first-person interviews to examine identity\, ambition\, and the weight of family pressures. At its center is Alejandra\, a woman who longs to become a mother and\, eager to meet the expectations of those closest to her\, haplessly invents a pregnancy. What begins as a seemingly simple deception quickly spirals into a gripping story of secrets and shame. Intercutting dramatized scenes with reflections from the real-life subjects\, Alberdi avoids easy judgment\, inviting audiences into a deeply human\, often unsettling narrative. A Child of My Own is a provocative\, compassionate exploration of motherhood\, desire\, and the moral complexity that emerges when longing and obligation collide. —Jessie Fairbanks

SUMMARY:Shorts Block 3: Shapes of Love
DESCRIPTION:In stories of queer love\, intergenerational love\, self-love\, and love across borders\, filmmakers deftly mediate between intimacy and universality. Seven films weave a fabric of love in many languages: phone calls\, imagined conversations\, home videos\, handwritten letters\, and stolen glances. Puppeteer Zach Dorn considers CGI-mediated closure in The Sopranos\, while Mars Verrone assembles a portrait of their late grandfather as textured as the forests he cultivated. Some films imagine boundless queer and trans futures while others grieve parents and partners. At every stage—even when it doesn’t announce itself—love moves us and inspires new creative methods. From before greetings to after goodbyes\, these films trace love’s ever-evolving shapes. —Sabrina Kim \nFilms are in alphabetical order rather than order of play. Total runtime 95 min \nBetty St. Clair \nSyra McCarthy\, Kyle Casey Chu (USA 2025\, 12 min) \nA drag queen searches for the courage to perform at a senior center upon realizing that a special guest is in the audience. \nBuckskin \nMars Verrone (USA 2026\, 17 min) \nFilmmaker Mars Verrone crafts an experimental love letter to their late grandfather\, Carroll B.

SUMMARY:Beau Travail
DESCRIPTION:Claire Denis adds a new visual dimension to her work with this lyrical adaptation of Herman Melville’s allegorical Billy Budd\, which shifts from the battling British navy of 1797 to the superfluous French Foreign Legion of 1999. On the African coast\, in a nameless country of paradisiacal beauty and hellish poverty\, a detachment of legionnaires—all young\, poorly educated\, and fleeing France’s dismal economy—punish themselves with drills and training rituals to fight boredom. Numbed by the pointless routine\, Sergeant Galoup (Denis Lavant\, best known as Léos Carax’s alter ego in Boy Meets Girl and The Lovers on the Bridge) conceives an irrational hatred for Sentain (Grégoire Colin\, The Dreamlife of Angels)\, a new recruit whose innate goodness perversely strikes Galoup as an affront. Denis films their conflict as if it were a displaced love affair\, framing Galoup’s growing obsession within a homoerotic athletic display that suggests Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia. A sexual consummation is out of the question\, and another resolution must be found. While little happens on the surface\, Denis’s intense concentration and Agnès Godard’s dry\, clear cinematography make Beau Travail hypnotic and suspenseful. —Dave Kehr \nClaire Denis appeared at The Festival with the film when it screened in 2000. \nFilms from the Vault revisits previously presented titles at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, highlighting the Festival’s role in championing emerging artists and iconic auteurs and inviting audiences to rediscover these films anew. —Jessie Fairbanks

SUMMARY:Special Screening: Power Ballad
DESCRIPTION:An unexpected night spent with former boy-band sensation Danny (Nick Jonas) upends the world of wedding singer Rick (Paul Rudd)\, an American transplant who traded his rock-star ambitions for a quiet life in Ireland. When Danny later adapts a song Rick wrote without permission and it becomes a massive global hit\, Rick struggles to convince anyone of its true authorship. Determined to assert the song’s origins\, Rick travels to Los Angeles\, only to navigate the gatekeepers\, protocols\, and absurdities of the music industry. His efforts lead to a series of comic misadventures before culminating in an unexpected confrontation with Danny. Sweet\, funny\, and surprisingly moving\, the film examines friendship\, artistry\, and the messy truths of creative collaboration. Rudd and Jonas perform their own music in the film\, bringing authenticity and sparkle to their dynamic\, electric portrayals of two very different musicians whose connection is immediate\, complex\, and often hilarious. —Jessie Fairbanks \nAttendee Information\nThis special screening is free for SFFILM Members.

SUMMARY:The Arch
DESCRIPTION:The Arch is reminiscent of a classical story in the Ibsen or Jamesian mode—in an 18th-century village\, a proud widow\, Madam Tung\, has allowed herself to be treated almost as a deity because of her virtuous behavior. When a troop of soldiers arrive to protect the farmers from bandits\, the villagers believe this is a reward from the Emperor for having requested that an arch be constructed in honor of Madam Tung and her saintliness. Exactly how Madam Tung manages to control her emotions when the troop captain attracts her (and her daughter also responds to the same man) is the crisis of this romantic tale. The visual aspects of The Arch are delicately beautiful (one notices that the cameraman is Satyajit Ray’s famous technician) and the acting is profoundly moving and romantic. There is an indescribably\, haunting quality about this film—the sort that lingers in the mind when one has seen something rare\, exotic\, and new. —Albert Johnson\, Festival 1968 \nThe original black-and-white 35mm negatives of the film have been lost. The restoration was made using extant materials from 1968\, including a 35mm release print preserved at the University of California\, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive\, and a 35mm release print preserved and scanned at the BFI National Archive. The digital restoration was undertaken at Silver Salt Restoration. Special thanks to the descendants of Paul Lee; Les Blank Films; and the Hong Kong Film Archive\, Leisure and Cultural Services Department. The Arch is one of the films under M+ Restored\, an initiative supported by CHANEL. The Arch is presented in support by Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in San Francisco. \nFilms from the Vault revisits previously presented titles at the San Francisco International Film Festival\, highlighting the Festival’s role in championing emerging artists and iconic auteurs and inviting audiences to rediscover these films anew. —Jessie Fairbanks

SUMMARY:Renoir
DESCRIPTION:Set in late-80s suburban Tokyo\, 11-year-old Fuki is thrust into adolescence by the harsh realities surrounding her parents. Her father Kenji (Lily Franky) is suffering from a terminal illness\, and her mother Utako (Hikari Ishida) is overburdened by the consequences. For Fuki (Yui Suzuki)\, the specter of death begins manifesting in various corners of her daily life\, leading her to seek a respite from engulfing tragedy with her irrepressible imagination. Chie Hiyakawa expands on her meditation on mortality\, first explored in Plan 75\, offering a distinctly arresting perspective centered on Suzuki’s outstanding performance where she channels grief in ways that feels wholly new and hauntingly truthful. Renoir serves as a provocative meditation on the ponderosity of life and ultimately what imbues it with meaning. —Jordan Klein

SUMMARY:Enough Is Enough
DESCRIPTION:Arriving fresh from it’s World Premiere at Berlinale\, this documentary is a rare window into the Kivu War. Enough Is Enough follows Congolese filmmaker Elisé Sawasawa\, whose displacement and refugee experience shapes his unflinching journalistic lens. On the ground amid armed conflicts between Democratic Republic of Congo\, rebel forces\, and neighboring Rwanda military\, Elisé and his friends navigate a world driven by power\, greed\, and the frenzy over rare minerals. With shocking firsthand footage and intimate accounts from refugees targeted by their own army\, the film immerses audiences in the harrowing realities of survival and resistance. Brave\, bold\, and uncompromising\, Sawasawa delivers a documentary that is as challenging as it is essential\, offering an urgent portrait of conflict\, displacement\, and resilience. —Jessie Fairbanks

SUMMARY:Filipiñana
DESCRIPTION:Isabel is a newly hired ball girl at a pristine golf course on Manila’s outskirts. An Ilokana from rural northern Philippines\, she immediately feels out of place among the high-status guests. Motivated by the sweltering heat and her insatiable curiosity\, Isabel slips away from her duties on the driving range. Over a languid afternoon\, Isabel discovers the locations of blessed AC units\, indulges in a finger of frosting from the buffet\, and observes the peculiar routines of wealthy patrons. As her boldness grows\, so do her unsettling discoveries\, revealing insidious secrets lurking beneath the resort’s lavish surface. Filipiñana heralds the arrival of a striking new voice in filmmaking. Director Rafael Manuel’s first feature swings with visual splendor\, wielding its imagery to deliver sharp\, scintillating commentary on capitalism and corruption—even in the world’s most polished corners. —Jordan Klein

SUMMARY:Rose of Nevada
DESCRIPTION:George MacKay (1917) and Callum Turner (Masters of Air) star in this eerie drama as Cornish villagers who go to sea on the titular fishing vessel that recently reappeared in the harbor 30 years after vanishing along with its crew. The two men return with a huge catch and to a world that is both familiar and utterly changed—so much so that they barely recognize themselves. MacKay is especially effective as a distressed husband and father left untethered by his new reality in writer/director Mark Jenkin’s enigmatic tale. Jenkin acts as cinematographer\, editor\, composer\, and sound designer\, giving him complete control of his visual and aural landscape in this striking 16mm feature. The result is extraordinary with vivid imagery and a resonant soundscape that underlines the characters’ discombobulation in a film that invites us into the throbbing heart of an indelible mystery. —Pam Grady
