Embrace the spirit of imagination and create your own experience at the 6th annual San Diego Film Festival.

Co-founded by an award-winning filmmaker, San Diego Film Festival is dedicated to supporting diverse, independent films. Each SDFF works hard to program a line-up of nearly 100 films; from new comers to future Academy Award winning films.

And to provide direct access to the red carpet, question and answer sessions with the cast and filmmakers follow most films. All screenings will be held in Downtown, San Diego at the Pacific Gaslamp 15 Theatre, 701 Fifth Ave. San Diego, CA 92101.
