13th Annual San Diego Film Festival

The 2014 San Diego Film Festival returns September 24-28, with award-winning independent films, filmmakers, actors, panels and parties. SDFF will be held at the Reading Theater in the Gaslamp Quarter and ArcLight Cinemas in La Jolla, allowing for an increasingly high-profile slate of indie films to be programmed. 12 Years a Slave, Silver Linings Playbook, and August: Osage County are just a few of the recent Academy Award-nominated movies that have played at the SDFF before their mainstream debut. Festival passes include all five days of screenings and panels, access to the Opening Night and after-party, as well as the Friday night “Almost Famous” party. VIP passes also include exclusive perks. Individual tickets are also available.  (www.sdfilmfest.com)
