The San Diego International Film Festival marks its 25th year Oct. 13–18. Opening night, Tuesday, Oct. 13, is the festival’s “Night of the Stars” tribute at the Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center in La Jolla, where it presents the Gregory Peck Excellence in Film Award.
Most screenings run Oct. 15–18 at AMC UTC 14 at Westfield UTC. Times of San Diego reports that about 90 films from 22 countries were chosen from roughly 3,500 submissions, among them “Alone on the Mound,” a documentary about the late Padres pitcher Eric Show, and “I Play Rocky.” A “25 Years After Dark” party is set for Oct. 17 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach.
Co-founder Tonya Mantooth told Times of San Diego the goal is to build community around the films, not just screen them. The full schedule and tickets are at sdfilmfest.com.
