Description

It is our pleasure to invite you, the people of San Francisco, to enjoy a vibrant array of films and to jive through a titilatting music line up. The Frozen Film Festival showcases independent film makers and musicians. We creep into the night with live music concerts, well crafted films of all kinds: animations, global features, documentaries, skate films, and music videos. Films we are screening this year:
