Presented by the California Film Institute, the 44th Mill Valley Film Festival (MVFF) runs October 7-17, 2021.

Presented online in the CAFilm streaming room and in-theater at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael, Cinearts Sequoia in Mill Valley and the Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA) in Berkeley, MVFF is an acclaimed eleven-day cinema event celebrating the best in US and world cinema.

Located just north of San Francisco, it’s known as a filmmakers’ festival, and the West Coast launch pad for many Academy Award®-winning films, annually showcasing 200+ films from over 50 countries, including the best in US and world cinema.

The MVFF creates a community that celebrates the best in international film as well as Tributes and Spotlights with major film talents.

The relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere surrounding MVFF gives filmmakers and audiences alike the opportunity to share their work and experiences in a collaborative and convivial spirit.
