kcbx.org - SLO International Film Festival hosts virtual and in-person screenings
From Tuesday, March 9 through Sunday, March 14, films from all over the world will screen at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.
Wendy Eidson, who is the artistic directors for the festival, said this year’s festival saw a dramatic increase in applicants.
Filmmakers submitted more than 1,000 films in total. Eidson said this rise in applicants has to do with the festival’s reputation and San Luis Obispo’s charm.
The first in-person event is on March 10 at Sunset Drive-in for “Surf Nite” which is one of the highlights of the festival, and includes a surfing-themed double feature this year with Brent Storm’s award winning film, “White Rhino,” and Bruce Brown’s classic, “The Endless Summer.”
