San Francisco Indiefest

Author: kris, Category: Movies

It’s almost time for the SF Indiefest! This is the independent film festival that claims to be “what Sundance used to be but is no more.”

I love film festivals. They remind me that there are some truly excellent moviehouses in and around this town (the Castro Theatre, the Kabuki, the Roxie and so on). They also open me up to new filmmakers and alternatives to the blockbuster films that I also enjoy. For example, I found Komaneko at the SF Animation Festival in November. It’s one of those films that makes you want to have kids just so you can show it to them. (Other films of this nature, for me, are every film by Miyazaki, and the Back to the Future trilogy.)

The festival runs from February 7 through February 20. Check out the website for schedules and tickets.
