SFFILM Festival

Founded in 1957, the San Francisco International Film Festival (SFFILM Festival) is the longest-running film festival in the Americas. The SFFILM Festival is deeply rooted in the culture and process of film appreciation—film as an art form and as a meaningful force for social change—and is an important showcase for the most searching and innovative films from around the globe. Join us April 13–23! Click here to relive the 65th SFFILM Festival.
