RSSSan Francisco Film Festival Season
April in most cities around the United States means spring cleaning, celebrating Easter, and rainy days. And while there’s no shortage of any of those things in San Francisco, April in the Bay Area also means one other very important thing – Film Festival Season. April draws film enthusiasts from all corners of the Globe who come to witness one, or all, of the distinct film festivals that take place every spring. Here’s a roundup of the film festivals in April 2016:
Crossroads Film Festival
April 1-3 | Victoria Theater| http://www.sfcinematheque.org/
Since its founding in 1961, San Francisco Cinematheque has become one of the most knowledgeable and respected showcases of experimental film and video in the world. Their annual Crossroads Film Festival celebrates new works of aesthetically radical cinema by emerging and established filmmakers, including film screenings and works of “live cinema.”
Food & Farm Film Fest
April 1-3 | Roxie Theater | http://www.roxie.com/ai1ec_event/food-and-farm-film-festival/
A Bay Area film festival fittingly focused on food also includes a few tastings from local chefs who create pairings for each day’s films. Intended to entertain and inform, the featured films are a celebration of food and farming, as well as a challenge to contemporary methods of food production. Festival proceeds support Cooking Matters, a San Francisco-based nonprofit offering nutrition and cooking classes in low-income communities.
