SFFILM Festival Unveils 65th Lineup, from Michelle Yeoh Tribute to ‘Cha Cha Real Smooth'
SFFILM Festival, San Francisco’s premier celebration of film, has unveiled its 65th lineup for this year’s return to in-person festivities. The 2022 program features more than 130 from 56 countries, with 56 percent helmed by female or non-binary filmmakers and 52 percent directed by BIPOC filmmakers. The 2022 Festival will run April 21–May 1, with tickets on sale now at sffilm.org. Screenings will take place at venues across the Bay Area, including the storied Castro Theatre and UC Berkeley’s BAMPFA.
While the festival features a variety of world and North American premieres, it will also serve as a Bay Area launchpad for a number of festival favorites, like Sundance darling “Cha Cha Real Smooth” (which Apple TV+ will roll out later this year), John Boyega–starrer “892,” NatGeo volcanologist documentary “Fire of Love,” Terence Davies’ “Benediction,” Claire Denis’ “Both Sides of the Blade,” Venice Golden Lion winner “Happening,” Sundance Best Director winner “Palm Trees and Power Lines” from Jamie Dack, and much more.
