San
Francisco International Film Festival (abbreviated as SFIFF) is the oldest
continuously running film festival in the Americas . Organized by the San
Francisco Film Society, the International is held each spring for two weeks,
presenting an average of 150 films from over 50 countries. The Festival
highlights current trends in international film and video production with an
emphasis on work that has not yet secured U.S. distribution.
Since its
inception, the International has grown to serve over 80,000 patrons, with
screenings held in San Francisco , Berkeley , and the Peninsula .
Graham Leggat became the executive director of the festival on October 17,
2005. The Scottish-born Leggat died on August 25, 2011 from cancer, aged 51.
