2026 SFINCFF Mission  

    San Francisco International New Concept Film Festival is a US government approved 501(C) (3) tax-exempt non-profit organization. We provide an international platform for all film lovers, professional filmmakers and film or media students who love filmmaking to stand out. We have a nine-judge-panel to screen and select the best talents with creative techniques and skills, who can demonstrate the original concept and accelerate their development within the film industry. Our mission is to encourage new and experienced filmmakers for their new productions. We provide resources, support and celebrate their originality, insightful screen writing and new concepts in the filmmaking. We accept films in all categories including animation and AI in subject matters. We make friends and enhance our communication through films.
     San Francisco is one of the important birthplaces of film and television in the world. Many iconic and legendary movies from classic to modern blockbusting were filmed here: The Maltese Falcon, Vertigo, Bullitt, The Conversation, Mrs. Doubtfire, Time Out, The Matrix 4, Artificial, The Invite and 2034. Our mission is to inspire outstanding and talented film makers from all over the world to gather here once a year to jointly showcase their current projects, future film developments, explore new ideas and actively practice film creations.
