America's oldest film festival |
39 Mesa Street (The Presidio, Suite 110) San Francisco, CA 94129 +1 415 561 5000 http://www.sfiff.org |
Founded in 1957, this is the oldest film festival in the Americas. The program is always ambitious, with films from around the world, some seen nowhere else outside their countries of origin. There are also special programs of classic films, films for kids, restorations of classic films, and retrospectives of filmmakers with unique visions. Many actors and filmmakers are on hand to participate in questions and answer sessions with the audience. Jonathan Richman and David Mamet, among others, were on hand during past festivals. Even with a two-week run, it is impossible to see every film in the festival, but do not let that discourage you. This is a great place to wallow in cinema. Worry about eyestrain later. The San Francisco Film Society, presenter of the SFIFF, sponsors cinema events throughout the year. Review © 2009, Wcities |
