Film Festivals 2025
March 19-23, 2025
The 28th annual Sonoma International Film Festival (SIFF), renowned for its unparalleled blend of world-class cinema, culinary excellence, and wine country charm, returns March 19-23, 2025.
March 27-30, 2025
SDFF is an Oscar ® qualifying Film Festival for documentaries in the short form. Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival is proudly progressive, often featuring spotlights on social justice, journalism, current issues. When the right films come through we’ve programmed different POV’s of the same story. Given the proliferation of AI, documentary might become our only touchstone for what was ‘real’ at a moment in time. What better platform than a non-fiction film festival to encourage fresh and critical thinking?
Returning in 2026
True West Film Festival (formerly AVFest) provides audiences and filmmakers ten days of thought-provoking films, the best of Sonoma County’s food & wine scene, shorts, panels, parties, and special events.
As we remain fully focused on completing construction and celebrating the grand opening of our James Redford Campus later this year, we will not produce the traditional True West Film Festival in 2025.
