  • Kick off the 2019 Festival with an unforgettable opening night on October 15, 2019! We’ll have a red carpet rolled out for our filmmakers and honorees, then settle into your seat in the elegant and historical Balboa Theatre for @jojorabbitmovie! The film was a huge hit at the Toronto Film Festival, where director #TaikaWaititi won the TIFF Ebert Director Award. After the film, join us at @parqsd for the After Party, with live music with @liquidblueband, delicious bites from our sponsors and a no-host bar!
  • We all have a superhero inside of us: it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In 14-year-old Billy's case, all he needs to do is shout out one word to transform into the adult superhero, Shazam! Join us at @catamaranresortsandiego for Movies on the Bay, FREE weekly screenings right on the sand!
  • Enjoy refreshments, cocktails and snacks from our sponsors, and mingle with filmmakers and other film lovers in our VIP Lounges!
