SONOMA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL IS BETTER THAN EVER
Silver Anniversary & the Silver Screen
L
IVE AND IN-PERSON IS BACK…AND THERE’S no better way to appreciate great cinema. Affectionately known as SIFF, Sonoma International Film Festival marks its Silver Anniversary with the best in films, food, wine, and fun on March 23 – 27, 2022. The nonprofit arts organization is excited to embrace its second quarter-century, doubling down on dedication to promoting independent filmmakers from around the world as well as supporting passionate student filmmakers from around the corner. Sonoma International Film Festival is “One of the
80
25 Coolest Festivals in the World,” says MovieMaker Magazine and one of “America’s Top 10 Destination Film Festivals,” according to USA Today. The pedestrian-friendly event is staged over five days in walkable venues centered around historic Sonoma Plaza, anchored by the wonderful 1933 movie house, Sebastiani Theatre. A special thank you comes from everyone at SIFF to all those that supported the event through its creative pandemic pivots, ranging from SIFF Saturdays online to screenings at the drive-in.
