MVFF - A Section by Section Profile
The San Francisco Bay Area continues to be a significant market for independent and international film, and the Mill Valley Film Festival consistently provides a forum for introducing new films to West Coast audiences. As the only prominent international fall film festival in the Bay Area, the Mill Valley Film Festival is an important industry resource for fall launches, premiere screenings of upcoming theatrical releases and Bay Area Academy Awards® campaigns.
Official Premiere Selection
A first look at films premiering in the US, the Official Premiere Selection introduces new films from around the world to this country. The vibrant market for independent international films in the San Francisco Bay Area makes MVFF an important launching pad into the American market.
World Cinema
Cinema is a doorway to the world, one that can change our ways of seeing and understanding our global neighbors. Whether their objective is to move, provoke, entertain, amuse or thrill, the films in the World Cinema section tell stories that reveal elements of the universal.
US Cinema
A showcase for new American films, US Cinema celebrates the work of both well-known masters and emerging makers, with a common talent for independent, insightful storytelling.
Valley of the Docs
From the threads of reality are spun some of the most fascinating yarns of all. The Valley of the Docs presents the latest in documentary filmmaking, in which makers from around the world explore truth—and consequences.
Children’s FilmFest
As rich as Swiss chocolate and as satisfying as a perfect summer’s day, this section offers young people an exciting glimpse into international cultures and adventures.
5@5
MVFF’s popular daily forum for short films, 5@5 is a testament to the fine art of the short film. Eclectic in both content and approach to filmmaking, the series features a new guest curator each year who presides over the assortment of filmic gems by emerging and established makers and masters.
V(ision)Fest
The future is the present in the V(ision)Fest—tomorrow’s technology is today’s medium for the imagination. V(ision)Fest media makers come from the school of all possibilities. They are the innovators and experimenters who are ready to shake, rattle and re-boot the state of the cinema.
Active Cinema
In 2008, we launched the Active Cinema program, a dynamic effort to connect the dots between activist films, interested audiences and the individuals and organizations that are working for the causes and issues represented onscreen. These films have the potential to inspire, inform and transform. After festival screenings, people often ask the question, What can we do? Active Cinema is our response to that question.
