San Francisco Documentary Festival (26)

Inizio del Festival: 03 giugno 2027      Festival si chiude: 13 giugno 2027

SF IndieFest is a founding member of the FILM FESTIVAL ALLIANCE

MISSION & OBJECTIVE
We screen the best documentaries from around the world at the Roxie Cinema, the oldest art house theater west of the Mississippi. Many of our titles end up with calendared runs at the Roxie later in the year. We get great press coverage in San Francisco, the second largest film market in the country, plus industry reviews.

San Francisco is a very receptive town for documentaries and our festivals have built a passionate following over the past 25 years.

All submissions are viewed by salaried programming professionals. We do not use AI or volunteer pre-screeners for evaluating films.
