ABOUT US

This year, the Santa Fe Film Festival begins a new journey in Festival status and design. This journey manifests your story and we know that road to the screen may not have been easy. The road may have been one that took you long distances, over many mountains, across oceans and down rugged paths. The Santa Fe Film Festival is honored this 10th anniversary to celebrate stories that have emerged from new voices to the cinematic screen and to the more seasoned voices returning to present work in film, music and art. Stories tend to evolve, taking on a new life of their own. Stories hold legacy giving us our past, present and show us the potential of our future. Open your heart and mind and dive into conversation stimulated by each tale. We know you will enjoy the films selected in this year’s presentation! We at the Santa Fe Film Festival welcome and thank you for joining us.

 

New PRESENTING SPONSORS in the Festival are  HUTTON BROADCASTING, STELLA ARTOIS, SILVER COIN TEQUILA and DW TURNER STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS

Premieres

Eleven World and US Premiere films were accepted into this year’s Festival, representing some of the best new work in independent filmmaking.

The Documentary Competition

Thirty-three films tell powerful stories about our environment, the human spirit, a not so lost generation, great characters in life, our relationship to spirit and the earth and to one another.

The Narrative Feature

Twenty-one new works depict new visions, new ideas of life, living and love. Some, which may beguile you, enlighten or sadden you. Be sure though, no story will fail to engage you.

Animated Tales

Through a different lens these twelve stories were crafted and came to life. Stories are told a different way, making them no less important and all the more fun.

Documentary and Narrative Shorts

Filmmakers love the challenge of making a dynamic story in a short length of time. This wonderful collection of shorts represents many countries, styles and genres created to grab you from two minutes to 29 minutes in time.

Fade to Black and the Lights Go Out - Live & in Living Color

Music from the blues, rock, folk and jazz come together celebrating emerging and veteran filmmakers, industry leaders and film goers (lovers really) who will hang together, enmeshed in conversation, staying up into the wee morning hours, discussing this cool night scene, the amazing films from the day, as they note the new stories that began to emerge, which is grounds for its own creative story, on film.
