Film and critics unite in the name of creativity and entertainment to welcome the Sacramento International Film Festival playing April 9 to 17. The Crocker Art Museum, Tower Theater, the Artisan art venue and Sacramento State University will be hosting this annual event.
Media Director Martin Anaya says they are expecting approximately 10,000 people to attend this year’s festival, congruent with the previous years. Anaya is especially looking forward to the upcoming event.
“We are really excited about this year because Timothy Bottoms is coming,” says Anaya. “He’s from ‘The Last Picture Show’, which has been voted one of the top films of all time. In fact this year is its 40th anniversary.”
There will also be a 48-hour film contest, which is for local filmmakers. When contestants show up they will be directed to pick a genre out of a hat. They then will have 48 hours to make a movie that will blow everyone away.
“A lot of variety that way, and we aren’t watching the same thing over and over,” says Anaya. “It also keeps things fair.”
