The secret about Sonoma having one of the Bay Area’s finest film festivals has been uncovered. It’s a cinematic treasure, worth the drive from wherever you reside — Randy Myers, MSN, San Jose Mercury News and President, San Francisco Film Critics Circle.

SIFF is a jewel of a film festival. It is serious in its celebration of cinema, yet as warm and inviting as Sonoma itself. To be a part of it is to fall in love with the movies all over again. I hope to return many times in the future. — J.D. Heyman

Going to the Sonoma International Film Festival has been on my bucket list for years. Needless to say, I was ecstatic when I was invited to attend. And I loved every moment of it - from the opening reception until the closing night's film rolled it's credits. — Chef Joanne Weir

SIFF brings in the best talent that Hollywood and the world have to offer while staying true to the small-town charm of the Valley of the Moon. To be a part of it is to fall in love with the movies all over again, in one of the most beautiful spots on earth. — J.D. Heyman
