The San Luis Obispo International Film Festival was founded by Mary A. Harris, a local attorney inspired by her experiences at film festivals in Los Angeles and Telluride. Launched in 1993 with support from the City of San Luis Obispo, the festival began with a focus on classic and restored films. Over the years, it has evolved to embrace independent films and provide educational opportunities for filmmakers, fostering a vibrant film community.
Generous support from sponsors and donors covers up to half of the festival's operating costs, supports local venues, and funds educational opportunities such as discussion panels and workshops for budding filmmakers.
By supporting the SLO Film Center, donors contribute to the continuation of independent cinema in the community, uplifting diverse voices and creating positive change through film.
Your contribution, whether in cryptocurrency or cash, helps sustain the festival and its mission. Join the movement to support independent cinema and film education in San Luis Obispo. Donate today and make a difference!
