The 2025 San Francisco International Film Festival

The 2025 San Francisco International Film Festival presented by SFFILM will take place from April 17–27 with can’t-miss in-person events, fantastic parties, thought-provoking talks, and so much more. The festival was founded in 1957 making it the longest-running film festival in the Americas. The SFFILM Festival is about film appreciation—film as an art form and as a meaningful force for cultural expansion and social change. The festival showcases the most innovative films from around the globe, and from filmmakers who call the Bay Area home.
