Encyclopedia
The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival was founded in 2006 to provide a forum for Bay Area
Filmmakers to mingle and be exposed to Non-Bay Area Filmmakers, with the intention of creating a lasting and sustainable Bay Area Film Network that will continue to support and have a place to exhibit films made by people without an overflowing Rolodex and 3-picture deal.
The San Francisco Frozen Film Festival shows yearly in July, and brings independent film
makers and musicians to the San Francisco Bay Area from around the globe. The festival itself is a collection of independent films and bands. Included in the festival are nights of live music concerts, short films
, animation, global features, long and short documentaries, skate films, music documentaries, and music video
