Film Festivals in Bay Area

Hello Film Lovers,
I received information about film festivals that are happening now and will be happening in the future in Bay Area. Don't miss the great opportunities.

Arab Film Festival is happening and closing soon.
Check this website, it would be a great opportunity to know about the culture.

The mission of the Arab Film Festival (AFF) is to enhance public understanding of Arab culture and to provide alternative representations of Arabs that contradict the stereotypical images frequently encountered in the American mass media. The Arab Film Festival screens films from and about the Arab World that provide realistic perspectives on Arab people, culture, art, history and politics.

SF Int'l Animation Festival
Novermber 13 to November 16

Currently one of the most fertile, creative and productive forms in cinema and television, animation occupies a pressure point between artistic, experimental, commercial and industrial media. It ranges from the latest visual FX-based arthouse films to family-friendly cartoons. The four-day San Francisco International Animation Festival celebrates San Francisco’s preeminence as a hub for one of the most creative forms in cinema today.
