The SF International Film Festival is a beloved 54-year-old cultural tradition; a 188-film juggernaut encompassing films of all lengths, origins, and genres; and a massive, multi-day, multi-city celebration of the Bay Area’s — and, indeed, the world’s — celluloid awesomeness. Also, apparently: sort of a bitch to organize!

Read all about it here.
