19th SACRAMENTO FRENCH FILM FESTIVAL
VIRTUAL EDITION: 10 DAYS, 10 FILMS
JUNE 19-28, 2020
Dear Amis du Festival,
It is official!
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 19th edition of the Sacramento French Film Festival will be virtual.
Held over 10 days, June 19-28, 2020, the SFFF will present a collection of about 10 new feature films, otherwise unavailable in the U.S. that you will be able to watch on-demand, from the comfort of your home.
Despite social distancing, we will keep our event festive and convivial with virtual Q&A sessions & partnerships with local restaurants.
We are aware that a lot of people are facing or will face financial difficulties due to the pandemic and we haven’t sent out our annual appeals for support and volunteering this year. But, even though we will not incur some of the usual expenses associated with producing our main Festival live, we face a new set of costs to host and manage virtual screenings, and your help is still essential to make it happen.
How you can help!
VIRTUAL CINEMA: Stream French films with the Sacramento French Film Festival!
As you may know, we have started offering Virtual Cinema on demand and virtual Q&As to stay connected Your rental supports the Festival.
The cost to stream each film is $10 or $12, and the SFFF gets 50% of the net revenue. So watching a film is a great way to show your support while getting to escape to France for a few hours!
