SF Indie Fest
Web Site: sfindie.virb.com/
Even in a city of non-stop film festivals, San Francisco lacked a festival that showcased the new wave of American feature length independent films. So we created the San Francisco IndieFest to fill the void with an eclectic line-up of Amer-indie flicks made by talented new filmmakers. Some of the films are a little slick, others pleasingly rough around the edges, and some a little radical, pushing the envelope. But hey, that’s what you get when you don’t have a mammoth movie studio making decisions for the artist. You get to take chances, maybe try something new. That’s what we’re bringing to you at the SF IndieFest: risky, challenging movies from the underground.
