Testimonials

Thanks to the organizers Joanna and Elizabeth for screening my ultra low-budget feature “The Dental Plan” and recognizing it with an award. The screening was very well-attended and I had some interesting discussions with the audience afterwards. The gala night was most impressive and took place in a beautiful location. But it was not just an awards show: there were live performances and a nice dinner afterwards too, where filmmakers could meet each other and chat. I congratulate the organizers on the gala which was really well organized. Everything ran smoothly, especially considering it was such a large event, which would have made it particularly difficult to organize! During the gala night, I found out as well that the organizer Joanna received an award from the president. Congratulations as well to Joanna for this huge accomplishment!  Well done!!!

Submitting my film to the San Francisco International New Concept Film Festival has been a highlight of my creative career! It’s wonderful when your friends tell you your work is good. But it’s that much more meaningful, and inspiring, to be recognized by your peers in your professional endeavors. This film festival will be a regular stop for my future submissions.

“It is such an honor to screen “Home Video Collection” at your festival. This is the first film I have ever sent to festivals, so I feel so fortunate for the opportunity. You all do an amazing job encouraging new filmmakers to express themselves and share their perspectives with the world, and I am excited to see what SFNCFF has in store for years to come!”

This was one of the most welcoming and friendly festivals I’ve attended. Awesome networking opportunities and great energy at the Red Carpet Gala and Awards Ceremony. I highly recommend this festival!

It was my very first film festival to attend. I was welcomed with warmth and surrounded by legends in the industry, as well as younger talent. I enjoyed the experience and hope to be part it again in the future!
Joanna was a great host, very informative & genuinely caring about her guests.

Great to be in this. Thanks.

I am deeply honored that “The McHenry Trial – Don’t Judge a Kid by Their Hoodie” was selected to be a part of your festival. May the festival continue to provide filmmakers a platform that fosters creativity and self expression.

It is an honor to join San Francisco International New Concept FilmFestival and won the “Best Short Documentary” award. Excellent experience even though this year’s event is online.
