Founded in 1957, the San Francisco International Film Festival is the longest-running
film festival in the Americas. Held each spring for two weeks, the
International is an extraordinary showcase of cinematic discovery and
innovation in the country’s most beautiful city, featuring some 150 films and
live events with more than 100 filmmakers in attendance and nearly two dozen
awards presented for cinematic excellence. The Festival attracts an annual
audience of more than 80,000.
“Few festivals are more suited to their city than the International. It’s clearly a
festival programmed by those who love film for people who love film.” — Alex
Romanelli, editor, Variety
