San Francisco Irish Film

San Francisco Irish Film was founded in 2003, and presents the very best in contemporary Irish cinema, celebrating everything from features to documentaries to Irish language films (with English subtitles for those who didn't spend a summer at a Gaeltacht). The Irish are notorious for story telling, and the Irish Short film has rapidly become an art form in Ireland. The annual film festival includes a selection of top current Irish short films in the "Short Stories – Tall Tales" program. Throughout the year, we continue the celebration of Irish film in the Bay Area, which includes a one-day Docfest in March. The Docfest, which began in 2017 is a celebration of award winning Irish documentary film. sign up for our newsletter to learn of our special events!
