The San Francisco International New Concept Film Festival was founded in 2010, and is a non-profit organization officially approved by the US Federal Government. After 4 years of preparation, we successfully held the First film festival in 2014. Since then we insisted on holding the film festival every year. Our purpose is to inspire new creations of films, especially to encourage independent filmmakers to create originals and realize their dreams.

        During the severe COVID pandemic from 2020 to 2021, we were glad to see that many filmmakers have overcome difficulties, persisted in creation, worked hard to make films. To fight against the pandemic, for health and safety, we decided to hold online film festivals for two years, which have been widely praised. From 2022, we return to the onsite festival. Without everybody’s efforts and support, our New Concept Film Festival won’t be so successful. Thanks to the filmmakers, judges and volunteer staff, to the supporters and patrons, to all the audience! Let us work together to make the New Concept Film Festival an ideal film art exchange platform.

        Every year we receive hundreds of film entries which come from USA, China, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Argentina, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Austria, Israel, Iran, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other dozens of countries and regions. The production level of the participating films has been greatly improved year by year. The New Concept Film Festival is founded by filmmakers, for filmmakers. All filmmakers please do your best to use your creative inspiration and work hard to make your genius creative dreams come true. We are waiting to see your film every year!

        舊金山國際新概念影展成立於2010年，是經美國聯邦政府正式批准的非營利組織。經過四年的籌備，我們於2014年成功舉辦了首屆影展。從那時起，我們堅持每年舉辦影展。我們的宗旨是激發電影的新創作，特別是鼓勵獨立電影製作人創作原創作品並實現他們的夢想。

在2020至2021年的嚴重新冠疫情期間，我們很高興看到許多電影製作人克服困難，堅持創作，努力拍攝電影。為了對抗疫情，保障健康與安全，我們決定連續兩年舉辦線上影展，並獲得廣泛讚譽。自2022年起，我們回到現場影展。如果沒有大家的努力與支持，我們的新概念影展不會如此成功。感謝電影製作人、評審和志願工作人員，感謝支持者和贊助人，感謝所有人觀眾朋友們！讓我們共同努力，將新概念電影節打造為理想的電影藝術交流平台。我們每年都會收到數百部來自美國、中國、加拿大、阿根廷、巴西、阿根廷、英國、法國、德國、意大利、西班牙、摩洛哥、奧地利、以色列、伊朗、澳大利亞、新西蘭、印度、日本、南韓、越南、柬埔寨、香港、台灣及其他數十個國家和地區的參賽影片。參賽影片的製作水準每年都在大幅提升。新概念電影節由電影創作者創辦，為電影創作者而設。所有電影創作者請盡全力運用你的創意靈感，努力實現你天才的創作夢想。我們每年都在期待看到你的電影！
