SAN DIEGO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

CELEBRATING THE POWER OF FILM
22 Years Of Bringing Independent Film To Our Community

Our mission is to use the experience of film to explore issues of global impact, to create dialog, and ultimately to help promote understanding in an increasingly diverse and complex world.

The San Diego International Film Festival is a 501c.3 non-profit arts and education organization that provides a year-round global narrative through film screenings, as well as a world-renowned annual Film Festival each October. 

Over the past 22 years, the San Diego International Film Festival has become a leading stop on the international film festival award circuit. Following the Toronto International Film Festival in September, this Festival is strategically positioned in October to showcase buzzworthy films just prior to general release and the awards shows like the Golden Globes, SAG, Independent Spirit Awards, Academy Awards and others.

A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
In addition to the Studio Films, the Festival proudly curates over 100 independent films from Filmmakers around the world on important social impact topics such as homelessness, prejudice, pollution of the world’s rivers, animal and environmental extinction, sustainability, sex-trafficking, military life, and so much more.  Q&As with Filmmakers provide additional insights and perspectives that increase our understanding and highlight our shared humanity. 

Screenings take place in the Festival Village at AMC UTC 14 at Westfield Plaza complete with Film Panels, VIP Lounges, Receptions and impromptu meet ups with Filmmakers!
