Frozen film fest celebrates fresh perspectives
The quote “The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco,” often attributed to Mark Twain, has long been used to describe the unique nature of the city. The founders of the Frozen Film Festival, whose name derives from that quote, kept that uniqueness in mind when they created a festival for young and independent filmmakers.
The festival’s 15th edition gives the spotlight to underrepresented creators.
The festival’s lineup, streaming on demand throughout its run, features films from more than 20 countries in a range of genres and mediums, including feature documentaries, science fiction films and animated shorts such as “Like Nothing Happened,” above. A virtual opening night event is planned for Wednesday, July 14, featuring live musical performances.
