Organization Summary

SF Urban Film Fest produces storytelling and film-based programs in collaboration with cultural and community organizations and is based in the City of San Francisco, California. Our programming includes film screenings coupled with interactive discussions, storytelling workshops aimed at civically-minded professionals, community members and advocates, as well as place-focused gatherings that connects physical and social spaces in cities. Our services include short film projects that support grass-roots efforts to address unjust urban planning such as to advocate for more affordable housing, transit options and open space in underserved areas to name a few. The SF Urban Film Fest is in its 10th season, with events throughout the year and a week-long festival coming up spring 2024. While historically all our programs are in person, due to the 2020 global pandemic, most of our programming were virtual, with only a few socially distant, COVID-19 compliant, in person events. However starting with the 2022 and 2023 festivals, our events are hybrid and in person.
