Welcome to the
most Southwesterly film festival in the continental United States. The Imperial Beach International Film Festival and Art
Walk are entering their fifth year helping to ensure that art and culture continues to grow, and will play an important role
in the South Bay.
This is
an exciting year for Imperial Beach and its place in film and television history. The new HBO series “John from Cincinnati”
set to air on June 10th is a story that takes place in Imperial Beach, and the location shots are being filmed
right here in town.
With all
the excitement going on in town our mission remains the same. The I.B. Film Festival is a fundraiser produced by our parent
organization the South County Renaissance Project. The funds will help to ensure
we can continue contributing to art and education projects for the youth of our region. We remain forever grateful to
the sponsors that have supported this event through the years, with a special thanks to the Unified Port of San Diego for
allowing us to play a role in the Ports Big Bay initiative helping to promote the bay as a unified destination for both local
residents and visitors.
Please
enjoy the festival.
Sincerely,
Steve Futterman
Director,
Imperial Beach International Film Festival
