San Francisco’s independent film scene is taking center stage February 5–15, 2026, with SF IndieFest, a must-see event for culture lovers and cinephiles. While Hollywood glitters with awards, SF IndieFest celebrates the daring, unconventional, and thought-provoking films that push creative boundaries.
Hosted primarily at the iconic Roxie Theater in the Mission District, this festival showcases a wide range of films—from experimental animations to edgy documentaries and dark comedies you won’t catch at your local multiplex. The atmosphere is casual, lively, and decidedly anti-Hollywood, complete with live music, parties, and opportunities to connect with filmmakers.
Attending SF IndieFest is more than just watching movies—it’s about supporting risk-taking artists and seeing the world through a bold, new lens. Make your plans now and experience the essence of San Francisco’s independent spirit.
