#SFFFF2022 Filmmaker Event
SFFFF2022: 16 Years of Providing International Film to the San Francisco Bay Area and Beyond.
We are very excited to have celebrated our 16th year of bringing amazing film and art events to the Bay Area. As COVID-19 continues to significantly impact the San Francisco Bay Area and global art community (via travel restrictions and in-person limitations) for the safety of our filmmakers, artists, partners, and guests the 2022 film festival program was presented online/on-demand! The show must go on!
SFFFF2022 included a incredible collection of over 175 films from over 47 countries, including inspiring feature documentaries, impressive experimental and virtual reality films, shorts of every genre, from comedy to sci-fi to drama. The festival also featured local Bay Area and international curated skate and surf films, music videos and so much more!
In addition to acclaimed short film collections from around the world on the international film circuit Frozen also promotes and showcases local Bay Area youth film part of the film festivals nonprofit programmatic mission. SFFFF2022 was held July 13th through July 17th, 2022 and was available online. All festival passes were made available for donation.
