2021 SFFILM Festival Program Guide

Page 1

Welcome to the 64th San Francisco International Film Festival! We are delighted to emerge this spring with our latest edition, as we collectively make our way forward from a year of separation and introspection, loss and adaptation. As I mark the start of my second year as SFFILM’s Executive Director, but my very first SFFILM Festival, I couldn’t be more thrilled to be here with you. With feet firmly planted in 2021, we see hoped-for connections within reach, possibilities on the horizon, and so many exciting opportunities coming into focus.

Fairbanks. In less than three months on the job, Jessie hit the ground at a sprint and brought immeasurable energy, focus, and appetite in leading our Programming team to produce a beautiful line-up of films, events, and talks. This is only one of the many reasons that the 2021 Festival is a special one. It reflects our transition to a new Director of Programming, to a moment where truly gathering in person may be possible, and to embracing lessons we have learned from the past year that will influence future festivals for years to come. I hope you will welcome Jessie into our tremendous Bay Area arts community.

This year’s Festival was built with these hopes and intentions in mind - to create the space for this moment to bring everyone together. Through a more tailored program, two simple access points of streaming and the drive-in, and a wider funnel to bring audiences from across the country together for the first time. In that same spirit of the moment, this Festival’s program echoes the year we experienced, the stories and inspirations filmmakers drew upon pre- and during COVID, and a glimpse into the future. With voices coming from across the city, the country, and the world, this year’s films bring that energy of personal storytelling and perspective to you. These ten days will be a journey together celebrating these original stories and connecting with each other - both virtually and in person - through a shared experience.

Finally, I want to thank the entire SFFILM staff for the beautiful spirit, innovation, and care that they brought to every part of creating this Festival. With that in mind, I encourage you to explore the program, find something that sparks your curiosity, and emerge from this Festival by discovering something new. We invite you to make the most of these ten days dedicated to the love of film. On behalf of the SFFILM staff, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to the 2021 SFFILM Festival program. Enjoy! Anne Lai

We also welcome a new addition to SFFILM with this Festival – our new Director of Programming, Jessie
