marks the much-anticipated return of movies, and audiences, to theaters, but the Northern California event founded in 1977 retains some lingering influences of the pandemic, with both in-person and online viewing options. With the Delta variant raging, the festival’s founder and director Mark Fishkin notes that the logistics for the fest’s hybrid-style return are even more challenging than before.
The fest will also present Spotlight Awards to San Francisco native Simon Rex, who stars in Sean Baker’s “Red Rocket”; Maggie Gyllenhaal, who wrote and directed “The Lost Daughter,” based on Elena Ferrante’s novel; and Denis Villeneuve, whose adaptation of Frank Herbert’s science-fiction novel “Dune” will screen at the fest.
Launched in 2015, the Mind the Gap gender equity initiative was created with the goal of reaching 50% of women directors at the festival by 2020. In 2016, 36% of the festival’s films were directed by women; last year the number had reached 57%. “We were looking at ways to support women filmmakers and money is just such a huge issue,” Elton says. “Getting plugged into the world of money is really difficult. These women need space and time to get their work made and the money will help.”
