The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival (SFFFF) is a Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2006 that is dedicated to creating avenues for independent filmmakers, youth, filmmakers of conscience, and artists from underserved communities to come together and exhibit their work to the widest possible audience.
The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival is held every summer in the heart of the Mission district in San Francisco at the Roxie Theatre. Filmmakers whose work is accepted into the festival are invited to come to the city by the bay in the dead of summer to screen and discuss their work.

SFFFF holds annual music and art performances, as well as youth programming and awards presentations.
Lo scopo principale di La mida no Importa-size Doesn't Matter è promuovere la produzione e la cultura del cortometraggio.
A volte veniamo avvertiti che se «le dimensioni non contano» dovremmo selezionare e mostrare opere audiovisive senza limiti di lunghezza, e forse non ci sbagliamo. Tuttavia, ci piace pensare che le cose non debbano essere troppo grandi per essere importanti, belle, necessarie o decisive, e questa è la filosofia che applichiamo fin dalla prima edizione di questo Festival.
Rivendichiamo le opere di breve durata perché crediamo che sia possibile scoprire l'ingegno concentrato in un breve lasso di tempo. Questo obiettivo è il motivo che ci spinge e ci spinge a continuare a cercare e frugare tra le proposte che ci pervengono per fare una selezione di temi, tipologie e generi molto diversi per mostrare la gamma di possibilità espressive del racconto breve.

Film and Literature – a passion more than perfect
To paraphrase Freud, behind every great movie is a great argument, and behind a big argument, most often, is a great book. When Cinema was born in 1895, and had emerged as the Seventh Art, Literature (Sixth of Arts), already had long and rich history.
No wonder Cinema, characterized by it’s irreverence and ambitiousness, has turned to it’s older sister for inspiration, plots, stories and characters.
This almost umbilical connection runs through the history of cinema, as an almost perfect passion. But like all passions, there are moments of overwhelming intensity, sublime betrayals, mediocre or brilliant adaptations. Without the support of Literature, Cinema would perhaps be a hollow technique, an invention without a future. With inspiration in Literature, Cinema is a dream that is making millions of viewers worldwide dream, the great art of our time, a creative synthesis of all the arts.
Recognizing the importance of Literature in Cinema, rather than diminishing it, will only magnify it.

Siamo un festival che promuove con forza il cinema sociale indipendente, quel cinema che racconta storie di persone, luoghi, condizioni e situazioni comuni alla maggior parte dell'umanità. In altre parole, storie di carne e sangue, sensibili e vere.
D'altra parte, siamo convinti che il cinema sia lo strumento più importante di trasformazione sociale e culturale del mondo; e che i festival siano mezzi alternativi e vetrine espositive, la cui funzione specifica è l'interazione dinamica con il pubblico target, al fine di raggiungere livelli di profonda consapevolezza per quegli spettatori.
Pertanto, vogliamo presentarci a voi, registi, in modo formale e onesto, fingendo di essere considerati un ponte tra chi vede, interpreta e plasma la realtà in modo diverso e gli abitanti della nostra regione; una regione situata in Colombia, che ha urgente bisogno di ascoltare messaggi di social e speranza culturale attraverso l'arte, al fine di raggiungere la pace interiore e cambiamenti radicali nella loro vita.
