We screen the best documentaries from around the world at the Roxie Cinema, the oldest art house theater west of the Mississippi. Many of our titles end up with calendared runs at the Roxie later in the year. We get great press coverage in San Francisco, the second largest film market in the country, plus industry reviews.
San Francisco is a very receptive town for documentaries and our fest has built a passionate following over the past 24 years.
LAST YEAR'S PRESS COVERAGE: https://sfindie.com/press-coverage
SF DocFest is an annual festival devoted to documentary cinema. Since 2001, this event has brought the most weird and wonderful aspects of real life to the big screen.
"What makes the scrappy San Francisco Documentary Film Festival a treasure to SF Bay Area filmgoers is its willingness to take that extra step to show films a little more out there than bog standard documentaries." - Peter Wong, Broke Ass Stuart
“Docfest offers a zippy blend of politics, music, social issues and youth-oriented subcultures. The good news is that DocFest promotes documentaries as a vibrant, irreverent form of entertainment to a younger demographic, blasting the notion of educational films to smithereens. There’s no room for anything approximating — watch it, I’m about to blaspheme – the obsessively measured and utterly somnambulant musings of Ken Burns.” – Michael Fox, KQED
“Since its inception, DocFest (May 31-June 15 at the Roxie and the Vogue, with opening night at Alamo Drafthouse) has compiled a colorful scrapbook of genuine characters in contrast to the current events survey, educational seminar or social-issue forum that defines many documentary series… There are one or two people in Off the Charts you won’t soon forget, which could be said about nearly every film in DocFest. That’s one of the pleasures of scrapbooks.” – also Michael Fox, KQED
Michael Fox just loves DocFest, here's another:
"Welcome to SF DocFest, the beloved annual compendium of odd, unusual nonfiction films from every nook and corner of our bizarro country and beyond. Waving off the pedigreed, high-profile docs that premiere at Sundance, get theatrical releases (or these days, national virtual releases) and chart a course for the Academy Awards, SF DocFest’s programmers opt for poignant, intimate works that miss the mainstream by dint of their iconoclasm and/or lack of a marketing hook." -KQED
"This week brings the kickoff to the 20th edition of SF Docfest, the rapidly-becoming-venerable nonfiction showcase that nonetheless continues to put the fun in documentary cinema appreciation. While other such showcases tend to be soberly issue-themed, focusing on the environment, activism, or some such, Docfest pursues—though not exclusively—colorful human interest stories, musician profiles, and other subjects on which there will not be a class quiz afterward." - Dennis Harvey, 48Hills

El festival de Cine Chileno FECICH es un evento cinematográfico cuyo objetivo es ofrecer un espacio de promoción, distinción y reflexión en torno a la cinematografía nacional. Integra los formatos de largometraje y cortometraje, de los géneros ficción, documental y animación.
Asimismo, FECICH busca generar un espacio de encuentro y diálogo entrerealizadores, sus obras y los públicos.
El crecimiento del cine chileno de los últimos 17 años ha sido significativo, y por ello es que FECICH se ha convertido en un espacio tan especial, en que realizadores, realizadoras, jurados y públicos asistentes a las funciones, conviven de igual a igual, generando una sinergia donde el cine chileno es el protagonista. Tras 17 años de vida, el espíritu sigue siendo el mismo.
En nuestra última versión, la animación chilena tuvo un papel relevante; la apertura de una competencia de cortometrajes solo en este género, abrió nuevos puntos de vistas de mirar el mundo, los encuentros y el ambiente entre las y los realizadores con nuevos públicos, superaron incluso nuestras expectativas. Es por ello, que para este FECICH 17, buscamos un nuevo desafío: convocar a series de animación chilenas. De esta forma, se forja un antes y un después en nuestro certamen.
¿Qué nos deparará el futuro? En un presente donde los últimos años han sido particularmente difíciles, FECICH busca positivamente seguir potenciando la creación audiovisual, incentivar la participación ciudadana y dar reconocimiento a cuyas obras, nos identifican como chilenos y chilenas.
