The 2019 San Francisco Frozen Film Festival

The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival (SFFFF) is a Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2006 that is dedicated to creating avenues for independent filmmakers, youth, filmmakers of conscience, and artists from underserved communities to come together and exhibit their work to the widest possible audience.

San Francisco is traditionally a place with extremely mild summers because of its close locality to the ocean. The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival was named after this fact. Our name derives originally from a quote that many attributes to Mark Twain, “The coldest winter I ever spent was my summer in San Francisco!”

Our name is FROZEN, because we offer an exceptional and truly independent collection of cutting edge film, premiered yearly during the heart of the cool San Francisco summer. We are cool like that.
