Favorite talks

We screen the best documentaries from around the world for two weeks at the Roxie Cinema, the oldest art house theater west of the Mississippi. Many of our titles end up with calendered runs at the Roxie later in the year! We get great coverage in SF, the second largest film market in the country, plus Variety reviews. The festival was attended by over 8000 doc lovers last year. A 10% increase in attendance over the year before! San Francisco is a very receptive town for documentaries and our fest has built a passionate following over the past 15 years.
