San Francisco Independent Film Festival
By Charlotte Robinson, January 31, 2025
The 27th San Francisco Independent Film Festival takes place both in person & virtually February 6th to 18th with 80 new independent films from the Bay Area & globally. Michael Fox, Film Journalist & Critic stated, "San Francisco IndieFest is the one festival of the year where you should throw a dart at the program & take a chance. Not because you’re guaranteed a masterpiece but because it’s the best fest to see something that would never, ever breach your filter otherwise." The in-person screenings take place at the Roxie Theater at 3117 16th Street & Vogue Theater at 3290 Sacramento Street in San Francisco, CA & start at the published time so plan to arrive at least 10 minutes before showtime as late attendees are not guaranteed seating as empty seats are filled by those in the Rush Line right before showtime. For over 2 decades the San Francisco Independent Film Festival draws crowds over 11,000 attendees & continues to support & celebrate maverick filmmakers & their work. SF IndieFest was founded in 1998 by Jeff Ross when he realized there wasn't a venue available for his friend Rand Alexander to show his film CAGED even though it had played the prestigious Slamdance Film Festival that same year. So Jeff took to the streets & put on a 4-day event financed like many of the films presented with his personal credit cards. The event was welcomed with an audience of over 3,000 people & the following year Indiefest grew to a 9-day event with over 4,200 in attendance. San Francisco Independent Film Festival is a 501c3 non-profit with support from the California Arts Council, San Francisco Grants for the Arts & San Francisco Art Commission.
